Complaint allegation is confirmed.One unpackaged ar-9236-01pp serial/batch number (b)(6) was received for investigation.No functional testing was performed; part is damaged.Visual evaluation found that the device has a broken pole.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to use error of the device due to prying/leveraging the device during use.
