H2: the fractured impactor tip reported was likely the result of a stress riser introduced during impaction, which led to crack initiation, propagation, and ultimate fracture of the device.Additionally, the device may have experienced material degradation if sterilized beyond the recommended parameters listed in the reprocessing instructions which could have led to the observed failure.Correction: h6 problem code, impact code, clinical code.
