Hawkone was returned with inserted cutter driver.There was no damage to the torque shaft.The cutter assembly and drive shaft were intact and pushed forward.The fracture of the distal assembly occurred distal the vent holes.The fracture shows the as the laser drilled coils star, they are stretched out at the area of the fracture.The damage to the h1 is consistent with a prolapse event.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
