H10: additional information was received that identified that this event should be re-evaluated for mdr reporting.The new information states that nothing broke off inside the patient or in any part of the device, the device was only dull.The reassessment determined that the issue does not meet the threshold for reporting and is a non-reportable event.This report was made based upon information which smith & nephew had not been able to investigate or verify prior to the required reporting date.
