Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Internal complaint reference (b)(4).H3, h6: the reported device was not returned to the designated complaint unit for independent evaluation.However, an image evaluation was performed and found the anchor fractured into multiple pieces.A review of device records showed there were no indications to suggest that the product did not meet manufacturing specifications upon release for distribution.A complaint history review found similar reported events.A risk management review found that the reported failure and/or harm was documented appropriately, and there were no indications to suggest the anticipated risk is not adequate.A review of the material specifications found the storage conditions and composition test requirements with a specified expiration date for each lot.The root cause could not be determined since findings cannot lead to a clear cause of the reported event.Factors that could have contributed to the reported event include excessive force to the device, off-axis insertion, improper preparation of the insertion site, or an inadvertent impact event inconsistent with normal use.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.
