Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Complaint allegation is confirmed.Upon visual inspection, it was noted that the drive geometry at the distal tip of the returned driver shaft, t15 hexalobe, cannulated, iso, ao, had broken off.No broken pieces were returned.Functional testing was not performed due to the damaged distal tip of the device.It was not indicated if a torque-indicating adapter had been used with the device.The most likely cause is attributed to over-torquing/over-engaging the driver within the screw head.
