Correction: h6 (device) code.\
\
the reported event could not be confirmed since the device was not returned for evaluation and no other evidence was provided.\
\
a device inspection was not possible since the affected device was not returned for investigation.\
\
the opinion of the medical expert was requested on this case despite the limited information provided, and stated as following:\
\"there is no dislocation of the glenohumeral reverse articulation.The humeral tray and the glenosphere are well-aligned.\
the image quality is not sufficient to diagnose humeral stem loosening with certainty.There is some humeral bone loss proximally but it is not a lot.\
an infection is unlikely because especially in chronic cases that would also affect the glenoid side, which it did not in this case.\
the glenoid side looks good.Components well-fixed, in a good position.Good fixation of the baseplate was confirmed during revision surgery.\
we cannot confirm from the available images, we would need to see the x-rays and have more clinical information\".\
\
a review of the device history was not possible because the lot number was not communicated.No corrective actions are required at this time.\
a review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.\
indications of material, manufacturing, or design related problems were unable to be identified as the lot number was not communicated.\
\
more detailed information about the complaint event as well as the affected device must be available in order to determine the root cause of the complaint event.\
\
if the device is returned or if any additional information is provided, the investigation will be reassessed.
