Method: risk assessment.Results: the event was confirmed via email correspondence with the sales representative.Visual, dimensional and functional analysis could not be performed as the device was not returned.No lot # was provided, so a manufacturing record review could not be performed.Conclusion: too much impaction force on the inserter may damage the inserter and break the implant wings.Per email correspondence with the sales rep, the implant was impacted using a mallet with a normal force - no extra force was applied.The product was not returned for evaluation, therefore exact root cause cannot be determined conclusively.
