Product complaint #: (b)(4).Investigation summary: according to the information provided: "revision of monobloc epiphysis left side because of fracture", "the insured person fell during his inpatient stay at the 360 grad specialist clinic in ratingen on the ward level and suffered a prosthesis shaft fracture with an implanted reverse shoulder prosthesis on the left, without any apparent bone trauma" and "explant is not possible to be investigated at the moment as patient was discharged from the hospital before he could sign the patient consent to investigate explants.Anyhow, they try to get the requested signature".The product was not returned to depuy synthes, however, photos were provided for review.See attachment ((b)(4) x-ray pre-revision and (b)(4) about 2019 implant passport).The photo/x-ray investigation revealed the body of the stem fractured, confirming the reporting event.No other anomaly was identified on the evidence provided.With the information provided is not possible to determine a potential cause at this moment.The mode of failure of the device is multi-factorial and consideration must be given to all other potential influences such as surgical process, patient variables (e.G.Activity level and use), anatomical considerations and patient changes over time.Any conclusions from the investigational input provided have to be placed into context with all other relevant factors.The device lot number is unknown, therefore a device history review could not be performed.If the lot/serial number becomes available, the record will be re-assessed.As the device was not returned, and as-received condition could not be assessed, a dimensional inspection and document/specification review were not completed.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the dxtend mbloc hum epi 1 d8 std 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 depuy synthes 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 device lot number is unknown, therefore a device history review could not be performed.If the lot/serial number becomes available, the record will be re-assessed.Added: b5.
