The reported oad was received for analysis.When tested, the device functioned as intended with no anomalies noted.However, detailed analysis revealed the crown to be detached and missing from the driveshaft.Scanning electron microscopy was performed and revealed weld nuggets remaining on the driveshaft after the crown detachment, indicating a good weld.There was no other damage or abnormalities with the device or its components that would have contributed to the reported event.At the conclusion of the device analysis investigation, the reported event was unable to be confirmed, and the cause of the crown detachment could not be conclusively determined.(b)(4).
