On (b)(6) 2024, it was reported by a sales representative via email that two ar-9501-05p univers revers humeral stem and two ar-9502f-36cpc arthrex univers revers suture cups engaged correctly, but they were loose, along with the two ar-9503s-03 univers revers humeral insert in between.The surgeon could wiggle the implants and make them move.The screw of the two ar-9502f-36cpc arthrex univers revers suture cups was not engaging with both ar-9501-05p univers revers humeral stem.The case was completed by opening a different ar-9501-05p univers revers humeral stem, an ar-9502f-36cpc arthrex univers revers suture cup, and an ar-9503s-03 univers revers humeral insert from a different lot number.This was discovered when putting the products together before insertion in the patient during a rtsa procedure on (b)(6) 2024.The case was delayed fifteen minutes; however, it is unknown if additional anesthesia was updated.
