Results of investigation: the device, intended for use in treatment, was not returned for evaluation.Therefore, product analysis could not be performed at this time.So the reported event could not be confirmed.A complaint history review found related failures; this failure mode will be monitored for future complaints for any necessary corrective actions.The device is a reusable device that can be exposed to numerous surgeries and cleaning cycles.Probable causes that could contribute to the reported event, as reusable instruments are susceptible to damage from prolonged use and through misuse or rough handling.To avoid compromised performance or damage, it is recommended the device be inspected prior to and after each use and cleaning.We recommend that all reusable instruments be routinely inspected for wear and damage and replaced as necessary.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Without the actual product involved and/or device information, our investigation cannot proceed.If the device or new information is received in the future, this complaint can be re-opened.No further actions are being taken at this time.We consider this investigation closed.
