Event or Problem Description
Additional information received: can you please confirm if this is left or ride side? it was the patient¿s right shoulder, and the humeral head and taper adapter (as a construct) were disassociated from the stemless implant.The stemless implant was well fixed, so the surgeon left it in and replaced the head and adapter with a new one.

> according to the information provided: "patient was revised due to anatomic head disassociated from stemless component.No additional information.Doi: (b)(6) 2025.Dor: (b)(6) 2025.Affected side: right shoulder".The product was not returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.Only the taper (anatomic offset taper adapter) and head (humeral head 46x16) were returned for evaluation.Although the stem (stemless m 36) was not returned for evaluation, given the patterns observed on the taper, it is reasonable to consider the device could not be assembled as intended with this mating component, condition that could have led the device assembly to fail/disassociate.However, without concrete evidence or further information, it is not possible to determine a definitive root cause.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.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device 663638 lot number, and no non-conformances nor manufacturing irregularities were identified.The overall complaint was confirmed given the patterns observed on the device mating component (anatomic offset taper adapter).The stemless m 36 would contribute 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
