Examination of the returned device confirms the reported event of breakage.The received 254500060 attune pin puller was forwarded to depuy material science for review.On the basis of these observations, the fracture of the pin grasper of the pin jack was caused by ductile overload, indicative of a bending force applied with the handle with respect to an engaged pin exceeding the ultimate strength of the material.Based on the root cause of overload corrective action is not indicated.Continue to monitor via (b)(4).Depuy considers the investigation closed at this time.Should the additional information be received, the information will be reviewed and the investigation will be re-opened as necessary.
