The device was returned; however, appropriate documentation was not provided by the reporter to allow for a complete investigation.As such, only a visual examination could be performed which concluded that the cage was indeed fractured; however, without being able to complete a physical evaluation, no conclusions can be drawn.A review of the dhr did not find any issues which would have contributed to this event.
