Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
H3: the evaluation noted that revision reported was likely the result of material degradation associated with years of normal use and subsequent sterilization cycles which led to fracture of the impaction face.The most likely root cause for the reported event of 'broken/non-functional" is associated with a partial or full-thickness crack in the device materials.
