Manufacturer Narrative

Additional narrative: a pd evaluation was conducted.The report indicates that the examination of this battery shows that one or more than one battery cells are highly resistive.The battery cells have cid (current interrupt device) protection devices to prevent possible dangerous situations.The investigated cells had opened cids.The cid interrupts the current as soon as the pressure in the battery cells rises.As soon as the current is interrupted the pressure won¿t further rise and therefore the cell is in a safe state.According to the test of synthes and the diagnosis of the battery university this happens when the batteries are repeatedly overcharged.Overcharging can only happen if a not adequate battery charger is used.The only adequate and specific battery charger for the colibri ii batteries is the ubc ii (part # 05.001.204) with firmware v11or higher.The complaint failure code has been identified as, battery cells highly resistive.The root cause of failure code could be due to user error, misuse, abuse.Device was used for treatment, not diagnosis.If information is obtained that was not available for the initial medwatch, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.
