Event or Problem Description
On (b)(6) 2022, it was reported by a sales representative via sems that an ar-8655-06 chondral pick tip broke off while inside of the ankle joint during an ankle arthroscopy procedure on 08/05/2022.The broke fragment was retrieved and the case was completed by using a new ar-8655-06.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Complaint confirmed.Upon visual inspection, it was noted that the distal tip of the device had broken off.The fragment was not returned for analysis.It was observed that the shaft of the pick was significantly bent, indicating that the device had been subjected to prying/leveraging forces.As such, this event is consistent with user-applied mechanical forces to the device during use.
