Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The following sections were updated/corrected: b2, b5, d1, h6.Mdr section codes updated/corrected: b, c, d, g.The revision reported may have been due to instability and dislocation, which likely led to deformation of the humeral liner and the patient¿s reported pain.It is unclear whether the humeral liner nonconformance issue may have contributed to dislocation and/or deformation.However, these failures, the sequence of events, and the underlying cause cannot be confirmed because the revised components were not returned for evaluation, and no images or radiographs were provided.Should additional relevant information be obtained, a follow-up mdr will be submitted accordingly.
