The screw head was optically assessed and stereo microscopically investigated in the lab.The stereo microscopic investigation revealed a tensile crack due to mechanical overload.Further observation determined there were no indications of material or manufacturing defects discovered.Product device history records could not be reviewed because no lot number or any other traceable identification was provided.The results of the investigation conclude that the root cause for breakage was due to mechanical overload on the screw.If further information can be gathered that might add value to the contents of the investigated report, an additional follow-up report will be submitted.
