Complaint allegation is confirmed.Upon visual inspection, it was noted that the anchor was returned and pulled out from the device.One of the tails was pulled from the original assembly.The distal end of the shaft was bent and one of the tips of the shaft was broken off.Functional testing was not performed due to damage to the device.The method of bone preparation and the quality of the bone encountered were not provided.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to improper bone prep; misaligned insertion; prying/leveraging the device during insertion.Per dfu-0054-eo rev 5 - e warning -7.Avoid excessive impaction during anchor insertion as this could lead to inserter damage and/or breakage.If insertion resistance is encountered, do not impact harder.Replace the implant and repeat the drilling/insertion process.
