Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Complaint confirmed.One unpackaged ar-2923ps pushlock assembly (no batch indicator present) was received for investigation.Visual inspection identified that the peek eyelet at the distal tip of the pushlock driver had collapsed to one side, with breakage evident.The fragment generated during this event was not returned for analysis.No damage was present to the peek anchor or the remainder of the assembly.The remainder of the peek eyelet wall was assessed where it was identified that the wall thickness present fell within tolerance.As such, the observed condition is most likely the result of improper bone preparation, off-axis insertion, and/or user applied mechanical forces during insertion.It was noted that the method of bone preparation used, as well as the bone quality encountered during the procedure, were not recorded.
