The dentist refused to provide information about the patient's weight.According to the distributor (nsk nordic), further inspection of the handpiece involved in the adverse event for cause by nakanishi is no longer possible because the handpiece was serviced by the distributor and returned to the user.Due to the device not being returned from the distributor, nakanishi examined the device history record (dhr) for the subject x-sg65l device [serial no.(b)(6)].As a result of the examination, the dhr indicated that no problems occurred during manufacturing and testing of the subject device.
