Event or Problem Description
On 01/24/2025, a sales representative reported via (b)(4) that an ar-9597-10 angled reamer sleeve, and an ar-9676 angled reamer were bound up.This occurred during a reverse procedure when the inner drive shaft bound up on the angled reamer sleeve and would not separate from the sleeve.The procedure was completed successfully.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information: g3, h3, h6.Based on the information provided which may include the device (if available and returned), pictures, videos, event description, and any additional information from the field, arthrex was able to conclude a most likely cause.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to misuse due to a force perpendicular to the drive shaft being applied while the device is spinning.This applied force creates an excess of friction and heat that ultimately has the potential to cause the device to seize from functioning as intended.Application of this force perpendicular to the drive shaft is not needed for the device to function, nor is it recommended that the user do this during normal clinical use.When used normally, this issue is unlikely to present itself, which suggests that the handling of the device has a large impact on whether or not it will seize.For this reason, the direct cause is considered to be misuse of the device.
