Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The reported event that a drill broke could not be confirmed because the drill was not available for investigation.Because the drill respectively the fragment was not returned a metallurgical examination of the fractured drill cannot be performed and it is also not possible to determine the precise root cause.Considering the description of the reported event that the angle of the drilling was not optimal it points to the fact that a user related issue has occurred.H3 other text : not available.
