Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary- it was reported that on (b)(6) 2025, the patient underwent tha with the drill shaft.During surgery, the drill shaft broke when the surgeon tried to drill the acetabular roof.The surgeon used another drill shaft instead of the one, and the surgery was completed successfully without any surgical delay.No further information is available.The product was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.Visual inspection of the returned device revealed that the coil on the flexible shaft had broken near the insertion portion, and the broken fragment was returned for evaluation.This condition is consistent with multiple uses under extreme eccentric loading resulting in premature bending or failure of the drill bit and/or flexible body.Properly handling and¿attention to the approved use of the device diminishes the risk of failure.A functional test was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.A dimensional inspection was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the quickset flex dr sft qck cple would have contributed to the complained issue.Based on the investigation findings, it has been determined that no corrective and/or preventative action is required.There is no indication that a design or manufacturing issue has caused the reported complaint condition.As part of depuy synthes quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Additional monitoring for any potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending and other post-market safety surveillance activities.Device history lot- the product investigation found no evidence suspecting an error in the manufacturing or material that would be a contributing factor in the reported allegation(s).A manufacturing records evaluation (mre) was not performed.Corrected: h3.
