The complaint allegation is confirmed based on photographic evidence of an ar-8717ds-0910, batch 3324136613, that displays that the dynanite nitinol staple implant system did not fit through the guide.Based on the information provided which may include the device (if available and returned), pictures, videos, event description, and any additional information from the field, arthrex was able to conclude a most likely cause.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to user error of the device due to misaligned insertion.
