Analysis found that visually, the middle assembly cutting tip was stretched out of its seated position which would have resulted in the reported event.No portion of the device became detached.The inner assembly would spin with some resistance.The middle assembly was rotated by the hub and the tip would not turn which indicates a broken internal spiral wrap.The distal inside diameter of the middle assembly was worn unevenly and the locking area of the rotating hub was deformed in such a way that indicates aggressive use.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
