    THE DEVICE HAS BEEN RECEIVED AND THE INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED. THE RESULTS ARE AS FOLLOWS: DHR RESULTS: THE DHR WAS REVIEWED FOR GLIDEWELL HT IMPLANT LOT# 6231149 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: A REVIEW OF STOCK PRODUCT WAS PERFORMED FOR GLIDEWELL HT IMPLANT LOT# 6231149 AND FOUND NO ADDITIONAL PRODUCT IN STOCK. INVESTIGATION METHODS/RESULTS: THE DEVICE WAS RETURNED BUT NOT IN THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE. THE IMPLANT WAS VERIFIED TO BE A GLIDEWELL HT IMPLANT Ø4.3 X 8 MM (70-1189-IMP0009) USING THE RADIOGRAPHIC TEMPLATE (MKT-013579 REV 1 PK-4500230-112023). THERE WAS NO DEFECT OR NON-CONFORMITY OBSERVED AND THE THREADS WERE INTACT. MATTER WAS OBSERVED IN THE TREADING OF THE IMPLANT. THE COMPLAINT IS VERIFIED BASED ON THE RETURNED PART 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 DESCRIPTION: "FAILURE TO OSSEOINTEGRATE" 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 FAILURE TO OSSEOINTEGRATE 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. PER THE REPORTED INFORMATION, THE PATIENT HAS TYPE II BONE QUALITY. 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.

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.

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.
