Manufacturer Narrative

The paragon broach in question has been in use for more than four years.Repetitive use of calcar reamer caused weak points around the spigot of the broach resulting in breakage of the spigot during use.As a result of this, paragon broaches from the location of event will be swapped out with brand new sets of broaches.A corrective and preventive action (capa) has been raised by the manufacturer to address this issue and prevent recurrence.This report is filed with the fda due to an event experienced with a device that is similar to those placed on the market in the usa, however, this event occurred outside of the usa.
