Corrected info: additional manufacturer narrative.The reported event was confirmed as one unpackaged ar-9126rp, universal glenoid primary reamer, batch number 04511912, was received for investigation and upon visual inspection, it was observed that the depth stop is broken off (see evaluation pictures 1 + 3).The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to improper use / device handling.Functional testing was not performed due to the damage of the device.The broken off depth stop was returned for evaluation.Further, the cutting edges are heavily damaged (see evaluation pictures 4 + 5).Also, the device shows signs of metal surface oxidation and faded laser marks (see evaluation picture 2).
