Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Complaint allegation is confirmed.One unpackaged 1268-100 radiolucent targeting arm batch number: 210929 was received for investigation.The 1268-100 radiolucent targeting arm was received with an 0826-000 impactor pad batch number: 211082 attached to it.Visual inspection of the returned devices noted that the 0826-000 impactor pad was stuck to the grommet of the 1268-100 radiolucent targeting arm and could not be detached.Functional testing was unable to be performed due to the devices being unable to be separated.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to user error due to excessive mechanical forces being applied to the impactor pad.
