    Narratives

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    AS ALLOWED BY EXEMPTION# (B)(4), (B)(4) (THE IMPORTER) IS SUBMITTING THE REPORT ON BEHALF OF HERAEUS (B)(4) (THE MANUFACTURER). ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NOT ESTABLISHED THAT THE DEVICE CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO THE EVENT, WE'RE REPORTING IT OUT OF CAUTION TO BE COMPLIANT WITH 21 CFR PART 803. WE CANNOT RULE OUT CAUSALITY. CONCLUSION: THE OFFICE IS ONLY APPLYING ONE COAT AND THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE STATE, "APPLY A COPIOUS AMOUNT TO THE ENTIRE CAVITY SURFACE. APPLY TWO ADDITIONAL COATS OF GLUMA COMFORT BOND AND WAIT FOR 15 SECONDS." ONE COAT IS NOT A SUFFICIENTLY THICK LAYER FOR OPTIMUM BOND STRENGTH. THEY ALSO LIGHT CURE FOR 10 SECONDS AND THE DIRECTIONS STATE TO, "LIGHT CURE GLUMA COMFORT BOND FOR 20 SECONDS WITH A STANDARD LIGHT CURING UNIT." EFFICACY CANNOT BE GUARANTEED WHEN THE DIRECTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED.

    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    RECEIVED COMPLAINT THAT OFFICE HAD RESTORATIONS COME OUT ON UP TO 12 PATIENTS. THEY REPORTED USING 2 HERAEUS PRODUCTS DURING THE RESTORATIVE PROCEDURE. THEY HAD TREATMENT INFORMATION ON 6 OF THE PATIENTS. THIS IS THE FIRST OF 3 REPORTS FOR DEVICE 1. ON (B)(4) 2012 DEALER REPRESENTATIVE CALLED TO RETURN THE GLUMA COMFORT BOND (GCB) BECAUSE HE SAID IT IS NOT BONDING PROPERLY. A MESSAGE WAS LEFT AT THE OFFICE TO FIND OUT WHAT NOT WORKING PROPERLY MEANT. ON (B)(4) 2012 A DENTAL ASSISTANT WAS CONTACTED AT THE OFFICE. SHE REPORTED THAT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, THEY HAVE NOTICED ABOUT 10 OR 15 FILLINGS THAT HAVE POPPED OUT FROM THE ANTERIOR AND POSTERIOR AS WELL. SHE SAID THEY ETCH, RINSE, AND DRY. APPLY GLUMA DESENSITIZER AND BLOW IT OFF. THEY APPLY ONE COAT OF GCB, AIR DRY, LIGHT CURE FOR 10 SECONDS AND REPEAT. THEY USE PATTERSON BRAND FLOWABLE AND TETRIC CREAM COMPOSITE BY IVOCLAR. I EXPLAINED THAT WE RECOMMEND THE GLUMA DESENSITIZER BE USED WITH A RUBBER DAM, LEFT ON FOR 30-60 SECONDS AND RINSED UNDER SUCTION. THE GCB IS TO BE PLACED IN THREE COATS, LEFT TO DWELL FOR 15 SECONDS, APPLY LIGHT AIR FLOW TO EVAPORATE THE SOLVENT AND LIGHT CURED FOR 20 SECONDS. THEN SPOKE TO ANOTHER ASSISTANT. SHE WAS ASKED IF SHE KNEW WHICH PATIENTS WERE INVOLVED. SHE SAID SHE DID. REQUESTED TO KNOW THE PATIENTS, TREATMENT AREAS, TREATMENT DATES, AND DATES PATIENT REPORTED DEBONDING TO THE OFFICE. SHE SAID SHE WOULD GET THIS INFORMATION AND CALL BACK TOMORROW. ON (B)(4) 2012 SPOKE TO THE SECOND ASSISTANT. SHE SAID THAT SHE REMEMBERED SIX OF THE PATIENTS AND BELIEVES THERE MAY BE 2 TO 6 MORE. ON PATIENT #2 THEY TREATED TOOTH NUMBER #19B ON (B)(6) 2012. THE RESTORATION CAME OUT ON (B)(6) 2012 AND WAS REPLACED THAT DAY. ON (B)(4) 2012 SPOKE TO THE FIRST ASSISTANT. ASKED HOW THE PATIENTS WERE DOING. SHE SAID THEY WERE FINE AND THE FILLINGS DID NOT COME OUT. SHE SAID THEY DID NOT USE THE GCB TO BOND THE REPLACEMENT FILLINGS SHE SAID THAT THEY USED FUTURA BOND BY VOCO AND THAT THEY HAVE SWITCHED. I ASKED IF THE DENTIST HAS TRIED THE REPLACEMENT GCB THAT WAS SENT. SHE SAID HE HAS NOT. SHE SAID THAT THEY HAVE BEEN CONTACTED 3 TIMES ABOUT THIS AND ASKED WHY. I TOLD THAT WE LIKE TO FOLLOW UP ON THE PATIENT STATUS. SHE SAID THAT WAS NICE, BUT THAT THEY DID NOT WANT TO BE CONTACTED ANYMORE ABOUT THIS SITUATION.
