Product analysis results: after visual and optical examination, it appears that the instrument tip has been sheared off, consistent with interface during usage.Inspection of the material hardness confirmed conformance to print specification.Optical examination of the fracture surface identified a fracture surface that is angulated with circular material displacement.This is consistent with torsional overload.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
