Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Visual, dimensional, material and functional analysis could not be performed as the device was not returned.Device and complaint history records were reviewed for this lot, and no relevant manufacturing issues or similar complaints were identified.Post-operative patient activities may have introduced unanticipated loading to the construct, overloading the capture strength of the screw at l5.There is also a possibility that the subject screw was never locked during the index surgery.However, as the device remains implanted and unavailable for evaluation, the root cause could not be determined conclusively.H3 other text : device remains implanted.
