Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information: d9, g3, h3, h6.The complaint allegation is confirmed.Two unpackaged, ar-1927psf-45, batch 15058054, were received for investigation.Visual evaluation noted that the anchors are detached from the device and weren't returned with it.Both anchors had damage on the threads close to the distal tip.Functional testing couldn't be performed due to the damage of the device.The most likely cause can be attributed misuse due to improper bone preparation; misaligned insertion; or prying/leveraging the device during insertion.Without the return of the anchor for physical evaluation, the complaint allegation could not be confirmed.
