H3, h6: the reported device was received for evaluation.A visual inspection of the returned device found that it is not in its original packaging.The insertion device was returned with the proximal end of the anchor and suture string off the device.There is biological debris on the returned items.A review of device records showed there were no indications to suggest that the product did not meet manufacturing specifications upon release for distribution.A complaint history review found similar reported events.A risk management review found that the reported failure and/or harm was documented appropriately, and there were no indications to suggest the anticipated risk is not adequate.A review of the material composition document found that the storage requirements for the material are specified, and the material must comply with provided percentage composition specifications as measured by ash test.Based on the information provided the clinical root cause of the reported osteoraptor anchor breakage could not be determined and we are currently unable to rule out a procedural variance as a contributing factor to the reported event, which does not represent a device malfunction.The ifu does caution that ¿use of excessive force during insertion can cause failure of the suture anchor or insertion device.¿ a definitive root cause for the reported issue could not be determined.Factors that could have contributed to the failure include procedural variance, or deviations from established protocols, increasing risks and leading to unintended consequences.Based on this investigation, there is no evidence to suggest a design, material or manufacturing issue.Therefore, the need for corrective action is not indicated.
