Due to imdrf harmonization, some previously submitted device, method, result, and conclusion codes related to this event may have been updated.Product analysis result: visual macroscopic visual and macroscopic inspection confirmed the threads of the break off screw have been damaged.The thread crest and flank damage appears to have initiated at the start of the thread, and is consistent around the damaged portion of the thread.Functional evaluation with a sample mas found the set screw unable to be fully engaged in the mas head.The above observations are consistent with misalignment of the mas and set screw threads during construct assembly.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
