Manufacturer Narrative

The device associated with this report was not returned.Requests for additional investigational inputs were made in accordance with (b)(4) appendix a.No additional information was obtained.A search of the complaint database against the reported product code found additional reports of stripped/non-functional.The additional reports were investigated and attributed the root cause to device wear from normal use and servicing.The investigation could not draw any conclusions about the current reported damage without the device to examine.The reported problem is consistent with the mating attachment features becoming worn/stripped when the reamer becomes in contact with hard cortical bone.Based on the inability to determine a root cause, a need for corrective action is not indicated depuy considers the investigation closed at this time.Should additional information be received, the information will be reviewed and the investigation will be re-opened as necessary.
