Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information: d9, g3, h3, h6 complaint allegation is confirmed.-visual inspection identified that the soft anchor returned was frayed/damaged, and the white suture was pulled out from the assembly.-functional testing was not performed due to the damage to the device.The method of bone preparation and the quality of the bone encountered were not specified.Per dfu-0054-eo - g.Precautions - 5.Insert the anchor with the same orientation as that of the prepared drilled bone hole to avoid damage to the anchor or inserter.6.Suturetak and fibertak suture anchors only: anchors loaded on flexible drivers: the drill guide tip must remain in contact with the bone surface during the drilling and implant impaction steps of the procedure.Failure to do so may result in difficulty seating the implant to its intended depth.Avoid excessive impaction during anchor insertion as this could lead to inserter damage and/or breakage.If insertion resistance is encountered, do not impact harder.Replace the implant and repeat the drilling/insertion process.7.Arthrex implant specific instrumentation must be used to insert implantable devices per the recommended surgical technique.The most likely cause of the reported failure can be attributed to user error of the device due to improper bone preparation, incorrect surgical technique during the knotless mechanism conversion process, and/or an excessive force used during suture passing or the device coming in contact with another device during use.
