Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information: g3, h3, h6.The complaint allegation was confirmed.One unpackaged ar-3641sp-1 serial/batch (b)(6) was received for evaluation.Functional testing was not performed due to device damage.Visual evaluation revealed that the anchor was broken and detached from the sutures; only pieces of the anchor were returned.Evaluation of the driver and handle found no defects or damage.The most likely cause of the reported failure is user error, such as improper bone preparation, misalignment during insertion, or the use of excessive force.
