Corrected data: d.9.And h.3.Have been corrected to reflect that the device was not received.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.While the rod was not returned, the screw was returned with the tulip disengaged from the screw shank.The tulip locking ring was deformed.The shank bulb had a deep and angled rod indentation, indicative of tulip angulation and overtightening.There is also a sharp angulation midway through the shank bulb indentation, indicating that rod tightening was performed at least twice at tulip head/rod over angulation and tulip head/rod severe over angulations.The most likely cause of fracture in rod is excess stress on the rod due to overtightening of the blocker and sharp angulation within tulip head.H3 other text : device was not returned.
