Manufacturer Narrative
|
The investigation determined the likely root cause of the event to be user related damage to the first thread on the "concave" side of the cup.The damage was possibly due to either an attempted off axis impaction with only partial threading of the cup positioner/impactor into the cup or attempted off axis impaction with partial initial crossthreading.There is no indication at this time that the design, materials, or manufacturing of the subject device contributed to the event.If additional information becomes available, this investigation will be reopened.
