Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation and the device evaluation.The device was returned to olympus for inspection, and the customer's complaint was not confirmed.The burr(mbur6060frcv) device was not returned in the original packaging.The burr appears to be unused with no presence of dents, markings or chips off the head of the burr.The locking grooves are in the correct placement on the burr and the tin coated tip is located correctly on the burr.Visually there is no failure present on the burr to cause the burr not to function as expected with the attachment and handpiece.There were no other abnormalities noted in the inspection.A review of the device history record found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.Based on the results of the investigation, the reported failure is a result of customer usage and assembly.The root cause has been determined to be customer assembly of the burr into the attachment and attachment to the handpiece.If the attachment is not locked into the handpiece properly then the burr (mbur6060frcv) cannot be inserted and locked into the attachment correctly.This will cause the burr(mbur6060frcv) to possibly dislodge out of the attachment and or "jump" while using the device.Proper assembly of the attachment is critical for the device to function properly with the handpiece.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
