Complaint allegation is confirmed.Upon visual inspection, it was noted that the drive geometry of the distal end of the driver shaft, t15 hexalobe, cannulated, iso, ao had broken off.The broken piece was returned.Functional testing was not performed due to the damage to the device.It was not indicated if a torque-indicating adapter had been used with the device.The most likely cause can be attributed to use error due to over-torquing/over-engaging the driver within the screw head.
