Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluation: the returned nail was observed and the anti-rotation lug was disengaged from the housing tube which confirmed the reported failure.The barbs of the anti-rotation lug and the anti-rotation feature on the inside of the housing tube had some damage, likely from the disengagement which occurred during the removal of the device.The work order was reviewed and confirmed the device passed all inspections per the acceptance tests.The manufacturing x-ray image showed the anti-rotation lug (crown) was seated properly in the housing body.The device was properly manufactured and inspected per the work order.The probable root cause for the disengagement of the anti-rotation lug from the housing body is due the high forces acting on the nail during explantation.It should also be noted that the explantation of the nail was performed after its expiration date.Device records review: a review of device history records for the returned unit confirmed that it met all the required quality inspections prior to release.
