Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
No relevant manufacturing issues were identified, as all units met specifications.Excessive force was most likely applied to the implant, causing the tulip to disengage, causing the deformation seen on the implant.Possible cross threading of the screwdriver, difficult angle of the tulip head or inadequate preparation of the pathway are root causes for the user to apply excess force to remove the implant and cause the tulip to disengage.
