Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay corrected/ additional information.The following sections were corrected/added: b1, b2, b5, d1, d8, g1, h6: clinical code, medical device problem code, component code, type of investigation, investigation findings and investigation conclusions.The revision reported was likely the result of the glenosphere locking screw backing out from the glenoid baseplate, which led to articulation between the screw and the humeral liner and humeral tray.This unintended contact likely led to wear of the liner and the tray.However, the sequence of events cannot be confirmed, and the cause of the screw loosening cannot be determined as the devices were not returned for evaluation and radiographs were not provided.Should additional relevant information be obtained, a follow-up mdr will be submitted accordingly.
