The reported device, intended for use in treatment, was received for evaluation.There was a relationship found between the returned device and the reported incident.A visual inspection was performed on the product and no issues were observed.A functional evaluation revealed a jammed motor/blade stall error.The complaint was confirmed and the root cause has been associated with a mechanical component failure.A review of manufacturing records found the device has been in service for over 5 years, thus any malfunction presented at this point in time would not be related to the manufacture of the product.A complaint history review concluded this was a repeat issue.Factors that could have contributed to the reported event include corrosion in the gearbox/motor assembly from cleaning and sterilization methods and the chemicals involved over a period of time or one or more of the motor phases shorting out.No containment or corrective actions are recommended at this time.
