H.10 additional manufacturer narrative: the aquabeam handpiece was not returned for investigation.A field service engineer visit at the customer site to further investigate the reported event isolated the issue to the aquabeam motorpack.The motorpack was replaced and returned to procept for investigation.The log files confirmed the reported event as instances of the aquabeam system transitioned to sessionid during the treatment phase were observed.Functional testing could not reproduce the reported issue as the motorpack pcb was accidentally shorted rendering it non-functional.A review of the device history record (dhr) for ab2000/serial number (b)(6), aquabeam handpiece/lot number 20c00415, and aquabeam motorpack/lot number 21c00501 was performed, which confirmed that there were no nonconformances, failures, discrepancies, or missed steps during the manufacturing process that could be related to the reported event.The review indicated that the system met all design and manufacturing specifications when released for distribution.A review of similar complaints for a 12-month period confirmed no other similar events have been reported to procept.The aquabeam robotic system instructions for use, ifu0104-00, was reviewed and states the following: 8.23 sterile align waterjet nozzle by doing the following: b.Press the foot pedal to visualize position of waterjet c.Waterjet needs to be visible at 3 or 9' o clock it is likely that there is an inrush power drop to the motorpack 5 volt when the 24v motorpack motor is rotating, given it occurred always when the r motor is rotating (alignment or treatment).Submission of this report does not constitute an admission that the manufacturer's product caused or contributed to the event.However, the root cause was unable to be established.This is the first occurrence of this issue (b)(4) complaint rate from 25-april-2021 to 25-april-2022).Should a trend arise further actions shall be taken.
