A visual assessment of the returned system rigid screw inserter showed an instrument with repeated use as identified by surface scratches and worn, but legible laser marking.The distal tip of the rigid screw inserter was fractured and missing as reported.A functionality assessment was not performed due to the damaged condition of the returned driver, which was removed from distributable inventory.A dhr review was performed for lot # 373146.It was found that the rigid screw inserter met specifications prior to being released to distributable inventory.The rigid screw inserter was released to distributable inventory on 07/29/2020, giving it an approximate age of 4 years.It may be possible for the distal tip of the system rigid screw inserter to be broken if excessive rotational force was applied, or if the screw inserter was shifted out of alignment while engaged with a system implant screw.The root cause of this complaint could not be reliably determined.The complaint investigation suggests the possibility that the screw inserter had excessive rotational force applied or was shifted out of alignment while engaged with an implant screw.There have been no complaints of similar nature in the past 12 months.Xtant will continue to monitor the field for complaints of the system rigid screw inserters that do not function as intended and will facilitate/perform complaint investigations as appropriate.
