Additional information: d9, g3, h3, h6.Complaint allegation is confirmed.One unpackaged ar-9297-15 univers vaultlock® augmented glenoid angled reamer sleeve was received for investigation.Visual evaluation of the returned device noted superficial wear and tear to the device with scratches, faded laser markings and discoloration observed.It was further noted that the device had striations along the inner diameter and collar of the device.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to overstressing a device that is damaged naturally and inevitably as a result of normal wear or aging from repeated usage/reprocessing.Refer to investigation photos.
