Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturing-related consideration: no manufacturing process-related non-conformances, deviations, or exceptions are associated with this manufacturing lot of humeral stems.Therefore, this does not appear to be manufacturing-related.User-related considerations: there were no user-related issues reported that appear to have contributed to the reported event.Patient-related considerations: there were no patient-related issues reported that appear to have contributed to the reported event.The reason for the revision reported cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of an insufficient bond between the humeral stem and the bone, which led to aseptic (non-infected) humeral loosening.Potential contributions of user and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and images and radiographs were not provided.This follow-up report is being submitted to relay corrected information.
