Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information: g3, h3, h6.The complaint is confirmed based on the photograph provided by the customer, which shows the polyethylene base broken in half.The metallosis observed may be a consequence of the device breaking due to an active lifestyle and physical work, and the possibility that the metal was making contact due to the absence of the polyethylene base in between.Considering the implantation surgery was in (b)(6) 2020, and the reported event occurred on (b)(6) 2024, this wear is understandable after 4 years of an active lifestyle and physical work.The directions for use (dfu) for eclipse shoulder prosthesis, section c.Contraindications.1.Insufficient quantities or quality of humeral head and/or humeral neck bone stock.5.Metal allergy.D.Adverse effects.2.Allergies and other reactions to device materials.3.Loosening of the implant as a result of changed conditions in load transfer, respectively, fatigue wear, or tissue reaction to the implant.Loosening is frequently a consequence of one or several of the above listed risk conditions but can also be caused by inadequate anchoring technique (see below).E.Warnings.17.An artificial joint is subject to wear and/or can loosen over a period of time.Wear and loosening may make it necessary to re-operate on an artificial joint.H.Factors and risks impacting the safety and service life of the implant.1.Patient weight.An overweight patient may present additional risk.2.Extreme stress or strain resulting from work or sport-related activity.6.Deformation of the operative site, which can prevent or impede anchoring of the implant.8.Allergic reactions to implant materials.Based on the information provided, the most likely cause of the reported failure may be a patient-specific event, specifically the break of the polyethylene base due to an active lifestyle and/or physical work and the passage of 4 years since the implantation surgery.
