Additional information: g3, h3, h6.The complaint allegation is confirmed.Based on the image received from the field, the quadpro¿ harvester appears to be damaged on the distal end.Consequently, arthrex was able to conclude a most likely cause.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to excessive user-applied mechanical forces.
