Product complaint # (b)(4).The returned device was received assembled with no obvious damage to the screw threads or the screw head.The screw and screw head both showed signs of wear.The drag spring (ring) component appeared to be deformed and did not sit flush in the screw.Upon disassembly, it appeared that the screw head cap component was missing from the screw head.A review of the device history record was conducted.No issues were identified during the manufacturing and release of this product that could have contributed to the problem reported by the customer.Although no definitive root cause could be determined for the missing component, it is possible that the device experienced unintended forces which lead to the disassembly of the screw head cap.As there has been no issue identified in the manufacturing or release of the device that could have contributed to the problem reported by the customer, this complaint file will be closed with no further action required.If information is obtained that was not available for the initial medwatch, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.
