Narratives
THE DEVICE WAS RETURNED FOR ANALYSIS; HOWEVER, THE DEVICE EVALUATION IS PENDING. AT THE COMPLETION OF THE INVESTIGATION A SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED WITH THE ANALYSIS CONCLUSION. COMPLAINT HISTORY AND PRODUCT HISTORY RECORDS WERE REVIEWED; DOCUMENTATION INDICATES THE PRODUCT MET RELEASE CRITERIA. THE PROBABLE ROOT CAUSE OF THE EVENT HAS NOT YET BEEN IDENTIFIED. MANUFACTURER INTERNAL REFERENCE NUMBER: (B)(4). RELATED TO MANUFACTURER REPORT NUMBER: 3011649314-2024-00919 AND 3011649314-2024-00921.
THE DEVICE WAS EVALUATED, THE INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND THE RESULTS ARE AS FOLLOWS: DHR RESULTS: THE DHR WAS REVIEWED FOR LOT#6233482 AND THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE DISCOVERED TO INDICATE THAT A PRODUCT DEFECT OR NON-CONFORMITY CONTRIBUTED TO THE ISSUE. THE PART MET ALL THE CRITERIA CALLED FOR IN THE PRODUCTION ROUTER. STOCK PRODUCT REVIEWED RESULTS: THE STOCK PRODUCT FOR LOT#6233482 IS NOT APPLICABLE FOR REVIEW SINCE THE ISSUE IS CUSTOMER RELATED. INVESTIGATION METHODS/RESULTS: THE DEVICE WAS RETURNED BUT NOT IN ORIGINAL PACKAGE. THE IMPLANT WAS VERIFIED TO BE A HAHN TAPERED IMPLANT Ø3.5 X 13 MM (70-1154-IMP0007) USING RADIOGRAPHIC TEMPLATE (PK-209-062515). THERE WAS NO DEFECT OR NON-CONFORMITY OBSERVED, AND THE THREADS WERE INTACT. MATTER WAS OBSERVED, IN THE THREADING OF THE IMPLANT. (SEE ATTACHED IMAGES). THE COMPLAINT IS VERIFIED BASED ON THE RETURNED PART(S) BUT CANNOT CONFIRM THE FAILURE MODE. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE FOUND THAT INDICATED THAT THE REPORTED ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY THE DEVICE ITSELF. ROOT CAUSE: "LACK OF PRIMARY STABILITY" IS A COMMON COMPLAINT IN REGARD TO IMPLANT FAILURE. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE PATIENT'S BONE DOES NOT INTEGRATE WITH THE IMPLANT SURFACE. THE POSSIBLE RESPONSES TO THIS COMPLAINT COULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO VARIOUS CAUSES. ALTHOUGH THE ROOT CAUSE FOR LACK OF PRIMARY STABILITY IS INCONCLUSIVE AND SPECIFIC TO EACH CASE, PROBABLE CAUSES COULD BE DUE TO INSUFFICIENT BONE OR POOR BONE QUALITY; EITHER THE BONE WAS TOO SOFT, OR THE OPERATOR ERRED IN CREATING AN OSTEOTOMY BIGGER THAN THE SIZE OF THE IMPLANT DIAMETER. PREMATURE LOADING, PATIENT'S HEALTH, PERI-IMPLANTITIS, SMOKING, AND LACK OF ORAL HYGIENE MAY ALSO BE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS. IFU 012631 REV 1 (GLIDEWELL HT IMPLANT SYSTEM IFU) CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT IN THE CONTRAINDICATIONS SECTION: "GLIDEWELL HT IMPLANTS SHOULD NOT BE PLACED IN PATIENTS DISCOVERED TO BE MEDICALLY UNFIT FOR THE INTENDED TREATMENT. PRIOR TO CLINICAL INTERVENTION, PROSPECTIVE PATIENTS MUST BE THOROUGHLY EVALUATED FOR ALL KNOWN RISK FACTORS AND CONDITIONS RELATED TO ORAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES AND SUBSEQUENT HEALING. CONTRAINDICATIONS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: VASCULAR CONDITIONS, UNCONTROLLED DIABETES, CLOTTING DISORDERS, ANTICOAGULANT THERAPY, METABOLIC BONE DISEASE, CHEMOTHERAPY OR RADIATION THERAPY, CHRONIC PERIODONTAL INFLAMMATION, INSUFFICIENT SOFT TISSUE COVERAGE, METABOLIC OR SYSTEMIC DISORDERS ASSOCIATED WITH WOUND AND/OR BONE HEALING, USE OF PHARMACEUTICALS THAT INHIBIT OR ALTER NATURAL BONE REMODELING, ANY DISORDERS WHICH INHIBIT A PATIENT'S ABILITY TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE DAILY ORAL HYGIENE, UNCONTROLLED PARAFUNCTIONAL HABITS, INSUFFICIENT HEIGHT AND/OR WIDTH OF BONE, AND INSUFFICIENT INTERARCH SPACE" IFU 012631 REV 1 (GLIDEWELL HT IMPLANT SYSTEM IFU) CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT IN THE SURGICAL PROCEDURES UNDER THE PRECAUTION SECTION: "MINIMIZING TISSUE DAMAGE IS CRUCIAL TO SUCCESSFUL IMPLANT OSSEOINTEGRATION. IN PARTICULAR, CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ELIMINATE SOURCES OF INFECTION, CONTAMINANTS, SURGICAL AND THERMAL TRAUMA. RISK OF OSSEOINTEGRATION FAILURE INCREASES AS TISSUE TRAUMA INCREASES. FOR BEST RESULTS, PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS: ALL DRILLING PROCEDURES SHOULD BE PERFORMED AT 2000 RPM OR LESS UNDER CONTINUAL, COPIOUS IRRIGATION. ALL SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS USED MUST BE IN GOOD CONDITION AND SHOULD BE USED CAREFULLY TO AVOID DAMAGE TO IMPLANTS OR OTHER COMPONENTS. IMPLANTS SHOULD BE PLACED WITH SUFFICIENT STABILITY; HOWEVER, EXCESSIVE INSERTION TORQUE MAY RESULT IN IMPLANT FRACTURE, OR FRACTURE OR NECROSIS OF THE IMPLANT SITE. THE PROPER SURGICAL PROTOCOL SHOULD BE STRICTLY ADHERED TO." IFU 012631 REV 1 (GLIDEWELL HT IMPLANT SYSTEM IFU) CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT IN THE WARNINGS SECTION: "THE IMPLANT SITE SHOULD BE INSPECTED FOR ADEQUATE BONE BY RADIOGRAPHS, PALPATIONS AND VISUAL EXAMINATION. DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF NERVES AND OTHER VITAL STRUCTURES AND THEIR PROXIMITY TO THE IMPLANT SITE BEFORE ANY DRILLING TO AVOID POTENTIAL INJURY, SUCH AS PERMANENT NUMBNESS TO THE LOWER LIP AND CHIN." IFU 012631 REV 1 (GLIDEWELL HT IMPLANT SYSTEM IFU) CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT IN THE WARNINGS SECTION: "ABSOLUTE SUCCESS CANNOT BE GUARANTEED. FACTORS SUCH AS INFECTION, DISEASE, AND INADEQUATE BONE QUALITY AND/OR QUANTITY CAN RESULT IN OSSEOINTEGRATION FAILURES FOLLOWING SURGERY OR INITIAL OSSEOINTEGRATION. A ROOT CAUSE FOR FIT ISSUES CANNOT BE EXPLICITLY DETERMINED. PROBABLE ROOT CAUSE IS IMPROPER SEATING OF THE IMPLANT DRIVER INTO THE INTERNAL HEX OF THE IMPLANT. IT IS UNCLEAR THE METHODS OF IMPLANT PLACEMENT USED DURING THE INITIAL PROCEDURE OR IF APPROPRIATE LOAD DISTRIBUTION WAS OBSERVED. IFU 012631 IF PLACING A GLIDEWELL HT IMPLANT THAT IS 3.5 MM IN DIAMETER OR GREATER, SHAPING DRILLS ARE USED SEQUENTIALLY TO WIDEN THE OSTEOTOMY TO THE MATCHING DIAMETER. TO AVOID OVER-PREPARATION, WIDENING DRILL DIAMETERS SHOULD BE USED ONLY AS NEEDED, AND IN PROPER SUCCESSION. EACH SHAPING DRILL IS LENGTH-SPECIFIC, TO MATCH THE LENGTH OF THE PRESCRIBED IMPLANT. OSTEOTOMY DEPTH MAY BE INCREASED SEQUENTIALLY, BEGINNING WITH SHORTER DRILL LENGTHS, PROVIDED SUFFICIENT DEPTH IS ACHIEVED WITH THE FINAL DRILL. SELECT THE DESIRED SHAPING DRILL, ACCOUNTING FOR BONE DENSITY AND THE SIZE OF THE IMPLANT TO BE PLACED. WITH COPIOUS IRRIGATION, DRILL TO DEPTH. THE FINAL DRILL SHOULD CORRESPOND WITH THE MATCHING IMPLANT SIZE, AS CHARTED BELOW, WITH THE GOAL OF ACHIEVING HIGH PRIMARY STABILITY UPON IMPLANT PLACEMENT. MANUFACTURER REFERENCE: (B)(4).

IT WAS ALSO REPORTED THAT THERE WAS INSTRUMENT FRACTURE AND DEFORMATION. PER THE REPORT THE HEALTHCARE PROVIDER DID NOT OBSERVE ANY PATIENT SYMPTOMS OR PERMANENT INJURY. PER THE REPORT THE DEVICE WAS REMOVED, AND IT WAS REPLACED WITH A PRODUCT SIMILAR TO THE COMPLAINT PRODUCT AND NO ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES WERE PERFORMED.
