    EXPLANTS ANALYSIS THE PIECES INVOLVED IN THE COMPLAINT HAVE BEEN RETURNED TO LIMACORPORATE FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. FIRSTLY, THE PIECES HAVE BEEN SEPARATED AND THEN THEY HAVE BEEN MEASURED, TO DETECT ANY DIMENSIONAL ANOMALIES. THE HOLE HAS BEEN FOUND SLIGHTLY DEFORMED, PROBABLY DUE TO THE ATTEMPTS TO DISENGAGE THE TWO COMPONENTS. THEN THE PIECES UNDERWENT A FUNCTIONAL TEST, FOLLOWING THE STEPS ON THE SURGICAL TECHNIQUE. BASED ON THE INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM THE COMPLAINT SOURCE, THE SURGEON COULD NOT SEPARATE THE SMR CONNECTOR FROM THE SMR GLENOSPHERE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE THE CONNECTOR SIZE. ACCORDING TO THE SURGICAL TECHNIQUE, IN ORDER TO PROCEED WITH THE REMOVAL OF THE GLENOSPHERE IMPLANT, THE SAFETY SCREW INSIDE THE GLENOSPHERE SHOULD BE REMOVED FIRSTLY, BY USING THE APPROPRIATE SCREWDRIVER. THEN THE GLENOSPHERE EXTRACTOR SHOULD BE SCREWED ON THE PREVIOUSLY IMPLANTED GLENOSPHERE, AND THE GLENOSPHERE SHOULD BE DISASSEMBLED FROM THE METAL BACK USING THE STRAIGHT-HANDLE (PRODUCT CODE 9095.11.253). THEREFORE, FOLLOWING THE SURGICAL TECHNIQUE, AN INSTRUMENT THAT REMOVES THE GLENOSPHERE ONLY, WITHOUT REMOVING THE CONNECTOR, IS NOT AVAILABLE. BY USING THE INSTRUMENTS AVAILABLE, IT IS ONLY POSSIBLE TO REMOVE BOTH THE GLENOSPHERE AND THE CONNECTOR (BECAUSE THE INSTRUMENT ENGAGES THE CONNECTOR THROUGH THE GLENOSPHERE). IN CONCLUSION: - CHECKING THE MANUFACTURING CHART, NO PRE-EXISTING ANOMALY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED - THE DIMENSIONAL CHECK HIGHLIGHTED A SLIGHT DEFORMATION OF THE HOLE, PROBABLY DUE TO THE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO DISENGAGE THE COMPONENTS - ACCORDING TO THE SURGICAL TECHNIQUE, THE GLENOSPHERE AND THE CONNECTOR CAN ONLY BE REMOVED TOGETHER THEREFORE, WE CAN STATE THAT THE EVENT IS NOT PRODUCT RELATED. PMS DATA ACCORDING TO LIMACORPORATE PMS DATA, THE OCCURRENCE RATE OF THIS KIND OF EVENT THAT INVOLVED THE SMR GLENOSPHERES, BELONGING TO THE FAMILY PRODUCT CODES 1374.09.XXX/1376.09.XXX/1374.15.XXX/1376.15.XXX IS AROUND 0.01%. BASED ON THE INVESTIGATION PERFORMED, NO CORRECTIVE ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS SPECIFIC CASE. LIMACORPORATE WILL CONTINUE MONITORING THE MARKET TO PROMPTLY DETECT ANY FURTHER SIMILAR ISSUE.
