The associated devices were returned and evaluated.The visual inspection revealed the meta stem, the glenosphere, a spacer and the reverse liner.All items are worn from use.The reverse liner is heavily scratched and scuffed with damage to all surfaces, possibly from extraction.A functional evaluation was unable to be performed due to damage to the device.Device batch numbers were not provided; thus, an evaluation of the manufacturing records could not be performed.For the liner and stem, a review of the complaint history for the previous 12 months revealed similar events for the listed part numbers.This failure mode will be monitored for future complaints for any necessary corrective actions.For the glenosphere and the spacer, a review of complaint history for the previous 12 months did not reveal similar events for the listed devices.A review of the instructions for use documents for the aetos¿ shoulder system revealed that modular components must be assembled securely to prevent disassociation.Avoid repeated assembly and disassembly of the modular components, as this could compromise the critical locking action of the components.Additionally, periodic, long-term follow-up is recommended to monitor the position and condition of the prosthetic components.This has been identified as an intraoperative and postoperative precaution.A review of the risk management files revealed that this failure mode was previously identified.The anticipated risk level remains adequate.A historical review concluded that there are no prior actions related to these products and event.At this time, we have no evidence to conclude that the products failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include injury, patient condition, or abnormal loading of the limb.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
