Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
(h3) based on historical complaint investigations and the image provided of the device, the fractured humeral liner impactor tip reported was likely the result of a stress riser introduced during impaction, which led to crack initiation, propagation, and ultimate fracture.Additionally, the device may have experienced material degradation if sterilized beyond the recommended parameters listed in the reprocessing instruction which could have led to the observed failure.
