Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary : pinnacle flexible drill bit and drill guide became entangled during use.They kinked up and become ineffective and unusable.The scrub nurse gave the surgeon an alternative drill bit and he completed the case using that.The device associated with this report was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the quickset drill guide ii 3.8mm has the edge of the mating connection hole nicked and deformed.However, the reported jammed condition cannot be confirmed since the device was found disassembled from its mating device.The observed condition of the device could be attributed to a combination of heavy use and unintended use error due to the insertion of the mating device in an off-axis position, friction can occur that damages the connection of the drill guide.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the quickset drill guide ii 3.8mm would contribute to the complained device issue.Device history lot : the product investigation found no evidence suspecting an error in the manufacturing or material that would be a contributing factor in the reported allegation(s).A manufacturing records evaluation (mre) was not performed.
