Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H10 h3,h6: the reported device, used in treatment, was received for evaluation.A visual inspection was performed on the product and no issue was observed.There was a relationship found between the returned device and the reported incident.Product failed functional testing with blade stall error and overheating.Cause of overheating and errors is a corroded motor/gearbox.The gearbox was found to be jammed.The complaint was confirmed and the root cause has been determined to be corrosion of the motor and gearbox assembly.A blade stall condition will result in increased current draw from the control unit which will heat the motor and hand piece housing.Factors which can contribute to gearbox corrosion include cleaning and sterilization methods and the chemicals involved.A review of the device history records showed there were no indications to suggest that the product did not meet manufacturing specification or would not be able to perform as intended.A complaint history review concluded this was a repeat issue.
