Correction: h3.Yes.H6.Investigation findings: investigation conclusions: device evaluation: visual inspection confirms that the distal tip of the tap has broken off.There is also a slight bend to the smaller diameter that was not sheared from the main shaft.The root cause is likely off-axis force being applied to the tap going into the bone.Review of device history records showed there were no manufacturing or processing related irregularities.Labeling review: warnings/cautions/precautions: risks identified with the use of these devices, which may require additional surgery, include device component failure, loss of fixation/stabilization, non-union, vertebral fracture, neurological injury, vascular or visceral injury.Possible adverse effects: initial or delayed loosening, disassembly, bending, dislocation and/or breakage of device components.
