Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary it was reported that during the case one of the resection guide pins became stuck in the cutting guide.The humeral resection was made and the resection guide was removed as one piece.This did not affect surgical time.The glenosphere inserter was difficult to thread onto the handle.This also did not affect surgical time.The product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual inspection of the silhouette resection guide revealed a pin stuck though one of the divergent pin holes, confirming the reported event.Additionally, the pin holes were found delaminated at its edges.Potential cause can be attributed to unintended use error, as this type of damage is consistent with the pin being drilled in a misaligned position.Properly handling and attention to the approved use of the device diminishes the risk of failure.A dimensional inspection was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.A functional test was unable to be performed due to the post-manufacturing damage.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the silhouette resection guide would have contributed to the complained device issue.Based on the investigation findings, it has been determined that no corrective and/or preventative action is proposed.There is no indication that a design or manufacturing issue has caused the reported complaint condition.As part of j&j medtech orthopaedics quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Additional monitoring for any potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending and other post-market safety surveillance activities.Device history lot the product investigation found no evidence suspecting an error in the manufacturing or material that would be a contributing factor in the reported allegation(s).A manufacturing records evaluation (mre) was not performed.
