Complaint allegation is confirmed.One unpackaged ar-6592-08-40-1 was received for investigation.Upon visual evaluation, it was noted that a part of the cannula spacer was broken off/damaged.After viewing under a magnifier, serration marks were noted along where the piece had broken off.Functional testing was not able to be performed due to the damage to the device.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to misuse/mishandling due to damage to the device.
