Additional information: h6.The complaint is not confirmed.The device was not returned for evaluation; no pictures were provided.Per the event description, "during an rcr procedure on (b)(6) 2023.Upon inserting the anchor, it stripped.The anchor did not break, and the case was completed using another ar-2324bcc biocomposite swivelock c." it is concluded that the anchor threads were stripped during the insertion.The most likely cause(s) for the reported failure can be a user error, improper bone preparation, or misaligned insertion; however, due to the device not being returned, we are unable to confirm the reported event.Per dfu-0087 at revision 2.G.Precautions.4.Pushlock and swivelock suture anchors only: during anchor insertion, ensure that the angle of anchor insertion is coaxial to that of the previously prepared bone socket.6.Pushlock and swivelock suture anchors only: ensure that the anchor body is in full contact with the bone before advancing the anchor body into the prepared bone socket.8.Self-punching pushlock and swivelock suture anchors only: ensure that the angle of anchor insertion is perpendicular to the bone.
