Event or Problem Description

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The reported event could not be confirmed since the device was returned for evaluation and found to be intact.The received screws were visually examined, and it was observed that one screw was broken in the middle.The other screw, measuring 55mm in length, was found to be in acceptable condition, with slight deformation on the crest of the threads and visible nick marks.The fracture surface of the broken screw was examined under a microscope, and the fracture surface indicated a combination of fatigue and brittle fracture, as no plastic deformation was visible.We observe a brittle fracture at the end of the screw, which suggests a sudden breakage at that point.A review of the device history for the reported lot did not indicate any abnormalities.No corrective actions are required at this time.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.No indications of material, manufacturing or design related problems were found during the investigation.Based on the investigation, the return device was found to have small nick marks but no breakage was visible.If any additional information is provided, the investigation will be reassessed.
