H3, h6: the device, intended for use in treatment, was returned for evaluation.A visual inspection of the returned x-bar confirms the axe court 20¿ sputnik, axe long 20¿ sputnik and cylinder de fixation sputnik are missing from the device.The missing pieces were not returned for evaluation.The device shows significant signs of wear/usage.A review of complaint history on the listed part revealed no prior complaints for the listed batch with the same failure mode.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal any manufacturing or material abnormalities that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.This device is a reusable instrument that can be exposed to numerous surgeries; damage from repeated use can occur.Expected wear/tear is likely the probable cause of the reported event.We recommend that all reusable instruments be routinely inspected for wear and damage and replaced as necessary.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should additional information be received, the complaints will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for these complaints; however we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.Additional information: d4, d8/d9 and h4/h5.
