The reported event could not be confirmed, since the returned device is conforming to specifications and fully functional.The device inspection revealed the following: the received target device t2 recon.Shows traces of a frequent and intense use as evident by worn out surface around sleeve hole.However, a functional test was performed by using received devices (target device & k-wire sleeve) & sample devices (nail & k-wire).K-wire was able to pass through the sleeve hole to the nail without any misalignment hence, the reported event could not be confirmed.A review of the device history for the reported lot did not indicate any abnormalities.No corrective actions are required at this time.No indications of material, manufacturing or design related problems were found during the investigation.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.Based on the above investigation and available information, the exact root cause of the alleged misdrilling could not be confirmed as the device was found to be functionally ok.However, as a secondary observation, it was found that the sleeve hole was slightly worn out but it had no impact on the alleged event.If any further information is provided, the complaint report will be updated.
