Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Complaint allegation is confirmed.Visual inspection revealed the tip of the driver is completely broken off.Functional testing could not be performed due to the damage to the device.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to user error of the device due to over-torquing/over-engaging the driver with the screw head.
