Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The devices, intended for use in treatment, were returned for evaluation.A visual inspection of the returned devices found the devices to be dull.The devices show signs of extensive use.The dimensional inspection could not verify the failure mode as the devices returned on this complaint were verified to be within drawing print specifications and tolerances.The broaches were verified with the appropriate overlays for the tooth profile.A complaint history review found related failures; this failure mode will be monitored for future complaints for any necessary corrective actions.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.These devices are reusable instruments that can be exposed to numerous surgeries; damage from repeated use can occur.Damage from prolonged use, misuse or rough handling are likely probable causes of the reported event.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.A relationship between the device and the reported incident was corroborated.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation warranted for this complaint; however we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
