H3: product analysis # (b)(4), product: 5540030, lot# 0059717c visual and macroscopic inspection confirmed the threads of the break off screw have been damaged.The thread crest and flank damage appear to have initiated at the start of the thread and is consistent around the damaged portion of the thread.Functional evaluation with a sample mas found the set screw unable to be fully engaged in the mas head.This is consistent with misalignment of the mas and set screw threads during construct assembly.Medtronic submits this report to comply with fda regulations 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to provide as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.Medtronic will submit a supplemental report if additional relevant information becomes known.
