B3: date of event: 12/01/2022.H10: block b3: the exact date of the event is unknown.The provided event date was chosen as a best estimate based on the reported date of november 18, 2022.Block h6: device code a150301 captures the reportable event of tip failure to separate.Block h10: the returned trapezoid rx basket was analyzed and a visual inspection observed the tip still attached to the basket.Additionally, the handle cannula was detached, the working length was kinked, the basket was folded, and the side car rx was pushed back.The dimensional test verified that depth of the screws was within the allowed tolerance, and the x-ray performed indicates that the screws were in good condition.The reported event was confirmed.Based on all available information, it is possible that the technique used, the tortuosity found during the procedure or the patient's anatomical conditions may have affected the functionality causing a problem to detach the tip.The detachment of the cannula suggests an excess of applied force.Therefore, the most probable root cause is adverse event related to procedure.A labeling review was performed and, from the information available, this device was used per the instructions for use (ifu) / product label.
