This report is being submitted in pursuant to the provisions of 21 cfr, part 803.This report may be based on information which has not been able to investigate or verify prior to the required reporting date.This report does not reflect a conclusion by depuy mitek or its employees that the report constitutes an admission that the device, depuy mitek, or its employees caused or contributed to the potential event described in this report.If information is obtained that was not available for the initial medwatch, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.Device was used for treatment, not diagnosis.H10 additional narrative: investigation summary the product was returned to mitek for evaluation.Mitek then conducted visual inspection of device received.Visual observations revealed that the anchor was broken in four parts; therefore, this complaint can be confirmed.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device 8l06414, and no non-conformances were identified.A possible root cause can be attributed to a procedural variable, such handling of the device or product interaction during procedure; resistance may have been felt when the device was being inserted and the excessive force applied caused the anchor to break.However, this cannot be conclusively determined.As per ifu- 111245, if resistance is felt during the insertion of a milagro interference screw over a guidewire, stop and confirm that the guidewire is not entrapped.If entrapped, back out the screw and withdraw the guidewire.At this point in time, no corrective action is required, and no further action is warranted.However, depuy synthes mitek will continue to monitor additional complaint information for potential safety signals through complaint trending as part of post market surveillance.
