Event or Problem Description
On one kit tfna, it was noticed, the following issues: the red and yellow markings on the guide sleeve, as well as those of the impactor are erased.The two connection screws do not fit with the hexagon screwdriver 8mm.These references are supposed to allow gripping.The protect sleeve does not fit properly into the carbon aim arms and slipping.Which is annoying, during the intervention.Carbon aim arms are incomplete: the "ring" visible is missing.The listing of this instrument is, in fact, unclear.These references should include three elements (carbon visor, screw and ring), each with its own reference.Issue noticed, by the sales rep, during a training with the users.
