On 12/14/2023, it was reported by a sales representative via e-mail that an ar-9561-30s univers revers¿ modular glenoid system had an issue marrying the central screw to the ar-9560-24-2 base plate.This occurred during a reverse total shoulder on (b)(6) 2023, where the central screw did not marry to the base plate, and the metal ended up getting a little deformed.They followed all the correct steps from the technique guide and made sure the screw married the base plate correctly before tightening down with the clamp.No additional information was provided, and additional information has been asked.

The complaint allegation was confirmed.One unpackaged ar-9561-30s batch, 15100631, was received for investigation.Functional testing with the returned mating part ar-9560-24-2 batch 15097595 was not performed due to the damage to the screw hex; the base plate could get stuck.The visual evaluation found that the hex was damaged, with nicks, a possible sign of excessive force to screw/unscrew it from the base plate.The most likely cause of the reported failure is user error.When two devices are intended to be threaded together, ensure that they are fully engaged prior to use.
