Investigation summary: complaint is confirmed.Visual evaluation identified that the hex drive geometry at the distal tip of the returned driver shaft, t15 hexalobe, cannulated, iso, ao had broken off.No pieces were returned for investigation.Functional testing was not performed due to the broken distal tip of the device.It was not indicated if a torque-indicating adapter had been used with the device.The most likely cause is attributed to over-torquing/over-engaging the driver within the screw head.
