On (b)(6) 2025, a sales representative reported via phone that an ar-3653sp knotless 2.6 fibertak rc soft anchor had an issue.During a rotator cuff repair procedure on (b)(6) 2025, when the surgeon was working through the posterior cannula and had inserted the anchor, it did not seat properly.When pulling on the sutures, the anchor came out of the patient's body in one piece.Nothing broke inside the patient, and everything was removed from the patient.Another ar-3653sp knotless 2.6 fibertak rc soft anchor with a different unknown lot number was used to complete the procedure successfully with no harm to the patient.The complaint device was discarded, and no pictures were taken.There was a case delay of a couple of minutes, and additional anesthesia was administered.This occurred during use with no reported patient harm.
