Unique device identifier (udi): (b)(4).Two skull pins were received for evaluation: failure analysis - evaluation of the returned skull pins found one pin was fractured and the other pin appeared to have no damage/defects.Complaint was confirmed via inspection of the returned pins.The results from extensive engineering analysis indicate pin fracture can result from excessive bending and shear load on the skull pin.No further investigation required based on the acceptability of risk and no adverse trends identified.This will be monitored and trended going forward.
