This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The following sections were updated/corrected: b3, d1, h6.Mdr section codes updated/corrected: a, b, c, d, g.The reason for the revision cannot be confirmed but may have been due to an insufficient bond between the glenoid component and the bone and/or the humeral component and the bone leading to aseptic (non-infected) loosening of the glenoid and humeral components respectively, reported wear of the glenoid component, and/or the inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.Should additional relevant information be obtained, a follow-up mdr will be submitted accordingly.
