Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).Customer complaint is confirmed since the unit had the tip stuck and could not be disengaged manually.The core and blade were measured and all the measurements met the specification.Even though the unit was stuck there is not sufficient evidence to assure this is a manufacturing defect and it is unknown if instructions and warnings per the tifu were properly followed.No dimensional issues were found therefore it cannot be confirmed as a manufacturing defect.A device history record review was performed on the device with no evidence to suggest a manufacturing related root cause.Complaints of this type will continue to be monitored via periodic reviews to evaluate if any trend exists.
