Reports come from manufacturers, hospitals and patients and are not verified by the FDA. A report does not prove the device caused the event. Widely used products collect more reports, so totals can't be used to compare products or estimate failure rates. Only reports that name a model's exact device identifier are counted.

- Feb 28, 2018Terminated
During assembly, an SRS Humeral Distal Body implant failed to engage correctly at the point of reduction with a Discovery Elbow System Humeral Condyle. A mismatch between the screw holes in the Humeral Body & Elbow Condyle affects assembly during surgery. If the product has already been implanted, no action is required. The mismatch is estimated to prevent screw engagement in less than 1% of cases.
