Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Product analysis: visually confirmed approximately 4mm of the instrument tip has been broken off, consistent with interface during usage.Inspection of the material hardness confirmed conformance to print specification.Fracture surface analysis of both instruments identified a fairly flat fracture surface and circular material movement, consistent with torsional overload.The above findings are consistent with torsional overload.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
