Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H3, h6: the associated device was returned and evaluated.A visual inspection was conducted and confirms during this inspection, that the anthology inserter fractured at the tip, most likely from impact.An impact fracture can occur if the mechanical loads applied to the instrument exceed the strength of the material.A fracture can also be the result of multiple impacts.The fractured piece was not returned with the device.This fracture caused the instrument to become inoperable.The device show signs of significant use and wear.A review of complaint history based on the historical data revealed similar events for the listed batch, this failure mode will be monitored for future complaints for any necessary corrective actions.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.At this time, we do not have reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A review of the risk management file revealed this failure mode was previously identified.The anticipated risk level is still adequate.Assessment of historical escalated cases concluded that there are no prior actions related to this device and failure mode.As the device broke and it cannot longer fit its purpose, the contribution of the device to the reported event could be corroborated.This device is a reusable instrument that can be exposed to numerous surgeries.Damage from prolonged use, misuse or rough handling are probable causes of the reported event.We recommend that all reusable instruments be routinely inspected for wear and damage and replaced as necessary.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
