H3 device evaluation - no signs of failure due to combination loading were observed.The failure is consistent with failure due to high torque application since the failure plane is normal to the screw's longitudinal axis.The cause for the failure is undetermined but is believed to be due to high torque application.The screw neck failure during screw insertion is the first failure of this nature for this family of screws.No corrective actions are being recommended.This report is number 4 of 4 mdrs filed for the same event (reference (b)(4)).
