No conclusion can be drawn.No evaluation was performed, as the device was not returned.If the device is returned in the future, product analysis may be performed.This dm0010faa easydrill cranial perforator with lot number 179/19 was manufactured by micromar.Multiple warnings are included in the easydrill cranial perforator ifu manual including: it is essential to keep the drill perpendicular (90 degree) at the predetermined point of the skull to be drilled, as an excessive deviation from perpendicularity may cause the product to fail and lead to serious patient injury.Select a drill bit suitable for the bone thickness.This prevents the drill from tearing the bone or brain tissue (similar effect when the bit is not positioned at 90 degree).If the components of the easydrill cranial perforator become loose during trephination, discontinue use.The drill can cut or tear the dura mater when it unlocks.Check some conditions before performing the procedure, such as the existence of adhering dura mater or other anomalies adjacent to the drilling site.We will continue to track and trend this complaint type.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
