This report is being submitted pursuant to the provisions of 21 cfr, part 803.This report may be based on information which has not been investigated or verified prior to the required reporting date.This report does not reflect a conclusion by depuy synthes, or its employees that the report constitutes an admission that the product, depuy synthes, or its employees caused or contributed to the potential event described in this report.If information is obtained that was not available for the initial report, a follow-up report will be filed as appropriate.H11 additional narrative: the product was not returned to depuy synthes, however a photo was provided for evaluation.Visual inspection of the returned photo found that the device is shown in used condition.The anchor sleeve was found cracked.Biological matter can be observed on the device.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the versalok pre packed w/oc would have contributed to the complained device issue.Based on the investigation findings, a potential cause is traced to continuous malleting on the shaft beside a hard bone surface without using an awl to create a starter hole which may cause damage to the anchor sleeve.As per the instructions for use; bone stock must be adequate to allow proper and secure anchor placement.Tap the back end of the shaft with a mallet, driving the anchor into bone.Continue tapping until contact with the distal edge of the laser line, which is directly before the shoulder of the pusher is in contact with the bone surface.In hard bone, the awl may be used first to create a starter hole.It has been determined that no corrective and/or preventative action is proposed.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 review: there was no non-conformance regarding this lot.
