Batch review performed on (b)(6) 2024: 40 items manufactured and released on 27-jan-2022.Expiration date: 2027-01-10.No anomalies found related to the problem.To date, 27 items of the same lot have been sold with no similar reported event during the period of review.Clinical evaluation performed by medical affairs manager: revision 5 months after previous revision in a rsa due to loosening of the glenoid components.From the poor-quality image, the glenosphere appears dislocated.According to report, the bone is of insufficient quality for a good hold of the grs baseplate despite the grab and the 4 screws.This is also visible from the radiographic image.Since this is the 3rd revision performed (first infection, then loosening of the long humeral stem), the next step is to define a glenoid custom implant in order to develop an implant which stick to the weak bone.This is a very difficult case.Since the insufficient bone quality of the glenoid there is no reason to suspect a faulty device.Root cause: there is no indication that any potential issue with the device may have caused or contributed to the event, and the investigation does not indicate any potential manufacturing related issue.
