Complaint allegation is confirmed.One unpackaged 3.4mm cannulated drill bit that is a component of an ar-1788j-cp internalbrace¿ implant system, ligament augmentation repair, biocomposite, with jumpstart® dressing lot number: 15217393 was received for investigation.Visual evaluation noted that the tip of the device was broken and a fragment was missing.Dimensional testing was performed using a caliper id: 1003729.The length of the device was measured and found to be 4.410, indicating that the missing fragment is around.09, as the length dimension specified in drawing c16909 rev 6 is 4.500.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to user error of the device due to misaligned insertion and/or prying/leveraging the device during use.
