    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    COMPLAINT ALLEGATION IS CONFIRMED. ONE UNPACKAGED AR-8750-03 DRIVER SHAFT BATCH NUMBER: 031833 WAS RECEIVED FOR INVESTIGATION. VISUAL EVALUATION NOTED THAT THE HEX DRIVE GEOMETRY AT THE DISTAL TIP OF THE RETURNED AR-8750-03 DRIVER SHAFT HAD BROKEN OFF. NO PIECES WERE RETURNED FOR INVESTIGATION. FUNCTIONAL TESTING WAS NOT PERFORMED DUE TO THE BROKEN DISTAL TIP OF THE DEVICE. IT WAS NOT INDICATED IF A TORQUE-INDICATING ADAPTER HAD BEEN USED WITH THE DEVICE. THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE FOR THE REPORTED FAILURE CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO OVER-TORQUING/OVER-ENGAGING THE DRIVER WITHIN THE SCREW HEAD.
