Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Additional information: g3, h3, h6.The complaint allegation is confirmed based on the customer-provided picture.Visual evaluation of the customer provided photo noted four suture strands.Based on the information provided, arthrex was able to conclude a most likely cause.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to user error.As it was the fourth anchor placed, it could be possible that the flat end of another anchor's shuttle link became wrapped around or stuck to the guide when it was withdrawn from the site.
