This complaint investigation was closed based on the device not received, therefore the reported failure mode was not confirmed.In the event that the device is received, the complaint will be reopened and the investigation will be updated with new results.Alleged failure: warping.Probable root cause: design, inadequate material selected for instrument, tip profile inadequate to support torque during use, tip profile does not fully interface with screw process, nonconforming raw material used, instrument not manufactured to print, incomplete material processing (ie heat treating) application, excessive or insufficient force used, screw inserted at an angle, incorrect size of screw for tunnel/graft, tap not used before insertion, driver not fully inserted into screw.The reported failure mode will be monitored for future reoccurrence.Manufacture date is not known.
