Internal complaint reference (b)(4).The reported device was not returned to the designated complaint unit for independent evaluation.However, an evaluation of the customer provided image was performed and found the device laying on a surface with a broken tip.Insufficient product identification information was provided and thus a manufacturing record review could not be conducted.Based on the information available, there were no indications to suggest that the product did not meet manufacturing specifications upon release for distribution.A complaint history review found similar reported events.A risk management review found that the reported failure and/or harm was documented appropriately, and there were no indications to suggest the anticipated risk is not adequate.The root cause has been associated with unintended use of the device.Factors that could have contributed to the reported event include an application of unintended inappropriate or excessive force to the device, attempted correction of a damaged device, or an impact event inconsistent with normal use.No containment or corrective actions are recommended at this time.
