Manufacturer Narrative

Results of investigation: the device, intended for use in treatment, was not returned for evaluation.Therefore, a product analysis could not be performed at this time and the reported event could not be confirmed.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A complaint history review found related failures; this failure mode will be monitored for future complaints for any necessary corrective actions.This device is a reusable instrument that can be exposed to numerous surgeries; damage from repeated use can occur.Damage from prolonged use, misuse or rough handling are likely probable causes of the reported event.We recommend that all reusable instruments be routinely inspected for wear and damage and replaced as necessary.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Without the return of the actual product involved, our investigation could not proceed.Should the device or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
