Alleged failure: the drill bit broke off at the end during drilling.The failure(s) identified in the investigation is consistent with the complaint record.The probable root causes could be: 1) use of excessive force, 2) run drill in reverse, 3) reuse/resterilization of single-use device, or use of a single drill on multiple defects, 4) guide is translated and/or rotated during drilling; drill not in alignment with guide, 5) user does not use snap cap, drills too deep, 6) drill is started/stopped while in bone (technique guide instructs to run continuously during drilling), 7) hard bone.The product was returned for investigation and the failure mode will be monitored for future reoccurrence.
