After further review of additional information received the following sections d9, g3, g6, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.(h3) the broken cup impactor reported may have been the result of weld degradation and/or an insufficient weld, which resulted in separation of the upper and lower body subcomponents and the inability of the device to function as intended.The most probable root cause associated with the reported event of ¿broken / non-functional¿ is associated with undesired damage or breakage in a solder joint of materials used in the device construction.
