Correction: the product reported in the initial mdr "[6000034-2026-01366]" which was submitted on april 21, 2026 is incorrect.The correct product is bia400 implant 4mm w abutment 12mm, not bi300 implant 4 mm.Per the clinic, the patient developed a persistent infection that had been ongoing for more than 12 months since (b)(6) 2024 (specific date not reported).The patient also experienced low grade inflammation followed by chronic discharge, tenderness, and scab formation causing frequent interruption with device use leading to the abutment removal on (b)(6) 2024.After the abutment removal, the patient experienced non healing skin/soft tissue.Subsequently, the patient was treated with oral and topical antibiotics daily; however, the issue could not be resolved leading to the decision to explant the implant screw.The implant screw was explanted on (b)(6) 2026.Reimplantation is planned but had not taken place at the time of this report.The reported adverse event is associated with a returned device; however, the provided clinical information was reviewed by the manufacturer, and no specific device analysis is deemed necessary at this time.Previous product examinations have not showed any relationship between a product geometrical deviation and the reported clinical complication.Additionally, there are no indications that a product failure has contributed to the reported issue.Adverse skin reactions around the baha abutment, ranging from slight redness to infected tissue, are common complications with baha implants, and can occur at any time following implantation.The report frequency for these complications is being monitored under cbas complaint and medical device reporting data monitoring plan, and the status is updated on a monthly basis.This event is added to this monitoring.
