Additional information: d9, g3, h3, h6 complaint allegation is confirmed.Visual inspection noted that the threads of the 130° radiolucent targeting arm had stripped.Functional testing was performed, and it was found that the green button got stuck when it was pressed and did not work as required.The most likely cause of the reported failure can be attributed to user error due to misaligned insertion and/or excessive force being used during insertion of the mating part.-the complaint was confirmed.-refer to investigation photos.
