The reported event could be confirmed.The device inspection of the returned device shows that the drill guide has been used and there are marks in the cannulation.These deformations with burrs are typically caused by drilling.The deformations is the reason why the drill did not go through the drill guide.The dimensional inspection using a caliper shows that the outer diameter of the drill guide is 3.15mm, which is according to specifications.The whole batch (60 devices) was inspected 100% for the diameter 3.15 +0.05 and is documented according to specifications.A review of the device history for the reported lot did not indicate any abnormalities.No corrective actions are required at this time.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.No indications of material, manufacturing or design related problems were found during the investigation.Based on the results of the inspection above, the root cause of the event has been identified to be user related.The burrs that hinder the drill were caused by the use of the drill by the user.If any further information is provided, the investigation report will be updated.
