Complaint allegation is confirmed.One unpackaged, ar-9512, stem/cup extraction adapter handle, serial/batch number (b)(6), was received for investigation.Visual inspection, under a magnifier, noted that the threads of the device are nicked and damaged.Functional testing was not performed due to the damage to the device.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to misuse due to excessive user-applied mechanical forces.
