Additional information: d9, g3, h3, h6 complaint allegation is confirmed.One unpackaged ar-1928sf-45-1 corkscrew was received for investigation.Visual evaluation of the returned device noted that the tip of the device was broken and it appeared a fragment was missing.No fragments were returned for investigation.Further visual evaluation of the device noted that the thread was slightly damaged.Functional testing was not performed due to the damage to the device.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to use error due to improper bone preparation; misaligned insertion; or prying/leveraging the device during use.
