Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Complaint allegation is confirmed.One unpackaged, ar-9216-4 /batch 022220, glenoid reamer/drill glove protector, was received for evaluation.Upon visual evaluation it was noted that there are striation marks and nicks along the inner diameter of the device.Upon inspecting under a magnifier, there were some visible blue shavings near the slot along the cannulation length.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to excessive user-applied mechanical forces.
