Event or Problem Description
On 10/20/2021, it was reported by a sales representative via phone that the following reamers were found to be dull: ar-9288grpp, ar-9229grpp, ar-9230grpp and ar-9231grpp.The surgeon used all reamers, from smallest (ar-9288grpp) to largest (ar-9231grpp) until the depth desired for each was reached.After completion with the extra-large reamer, the surgeon went back to the small reamer and began to ream the insertion site.During reaming the surgeon used force on the small reamer causing the device to ream more than the desired depth on the glenoid.This portion of the procedure was completed using extra cement to achieve good fixation.
