Visual, dimensional, material and functional analysis could not be performed as the device associated with this record was not returned.The issue of deformation on the tip of the tapered driver was confirmed via images provided.A review of complaint history associated with the subject catalog and lot number was performed, and no adverse trend was observed.The device was inspected prior to the procedure and no damage was noticed.Hence, the cause of the reported event is application of excessive force by the user causing device deformation.
