Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary- according to the information received, ¿doing a global unite reverse total shoulder, stem and epi would not mate.Seems to be a mismatch or machining issue¿.The reported global unite std stem sz 10 (lot.4554806) and photos of the product labels were returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.The depuy synthes team forwarded all the available information to the manufacturing site for further evaluation.Based on the manufacturing investigation, it was confirmed that the tab (assembly feature) width was out of the maximum tolerance limit; this dimensional non-conformance prevents the implant from properly assembling with its corresponding mating part.Additionally, the visual inspection performed under standard magnification revealed that the tab surface exhibited machining marks consistent with the use of a damaged tool during the manufacturing process.This condition could not have been caused by external forces acting on the part.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the global unite std stem sz 10 would contribute to the complained device issue.Based on the information currently available, a product issue was identified during the investigation of the sample received.This product issue will be addressed through depuy synthes quality system.Additional monitoring for any potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending and other post-market safety surveillance activities.Device history lot
