Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Section h10: (h3) based on previous complaint investigations, the broken impactor handle reported in (b)(4) was likely the result of not fully securing the impactor handle to a mating tip, and then impacting off-axis, which led to crack initiation, propagation, and ultimate fracture of the threads on the handle.
