xtab 7x50mm-sterile was conducted identifying that lot number tbvnb was released in a single batch.Batch1: lot qty of (b)(4) were released on 02 jul 2018 with no discrepancies.As a result, the ri identified no issues during the manufacturing and release of this device that could have contributed to the problem reported by the customer.Device history review null,the ri identified no issues during the manufacturing and release of this device that could have contributed to the problem reported by the customer.H3, h6: investigation summary updated event description: physician indicated that screw shaft was inside the cup and because of that it was impossible to implement the rod.No consequences for the patient reported.There was surgical delay of 15 to 20 minutes.Fragments were

completed based on the supplied image(s) from the attachments (1 image(s) from the attachment(s) located in notes & attachments section of the product complaint).The image(s) was reviewed, and the complaint condition could not be confirmed as the image did not provide enough clarity to determine if the proximal portion of the screw fell apart, however the distal tip is broken.As the implant(s) was not returned an as received, dimensional, material or drawing reviews are not applicable.A manufacturing record evaluation could not be performed as the lot number could not be determined from the provided image.No definitive root cause was able to be determined as the circumstances surrounding the event are unknown.During the investigation no unidentified product design/manufacturing issues or discrepancies were observed (based on the images) that may have contributed to the complaint condition.Additional monitoring for any potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint

however, this damage is expected and due to the removal of expedium verse screw reduction tabs at the completion of the procedure using tab remover per expedium verse spinal system.The remaining features of the device, including the threads, displayed no signs of damage or defect.Functional test: functional test was not performed on the returned device due to the device received by itself and the removal of expedium verse screw reduction tabs.Dimensional inspection: a dimensional inspection was not performed on the screw head as the internal components were inaccessible without destruction of the device.Document/specification review based on the date of manufacture the following drawings, reflecting the current and manufactured revision were reviewed.The device received was loose.Hence confirming the allegation.Investigation conclusion : the complaint condition is confirmed for the viper prime cfxfen xtab 7 x 50 mm (p/n: 186770450, lot #: tbvnb).There is no indication that a design or manufacturing issue has caused the issue and hence the root cause cannot be determined.Based on the investigation findings, it has been determined that no corrective and/or preventative action is proposed.Additional monitoring for any potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending and other post-market safety surveillance activities.Device was used for treatment, not
