The potential for a failed welded nut to shear off. When this occurs, the gas strut on one side of the device becomes detached from the canopy, making the canopy difficult to lift.
The defect in the thread area will not allow the device to fully engage with an implant or analog (implant replica used for prosthetic modeling). The threads will only engage approximately 2 rotations as opposed to full engagement which is approximately 5 rotations. This equates to approximately 1mm difference in depth of engagement.
