Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Additional information: g3, h3, h6 complaint allegation cannot be confirmed due to the anchor not being returned.One unpackaged ar-2324bcc-1 biocomposite swivelock was received for investigation.Visual evaluation of the returned device noted the anchor and eyelet were no longer assembled to the device and were not returned for evaluation.Functional testing was not performed due to the missing components.The bone quality of the patient and the information of the instrument used to prepare the bone socket for insertion of the implant were not provided.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to user error of the device due to excessive force being used during insertion and/or improper bone prep.
