Initial reporter occupation: unknown.Investigation evaluation: a product evaluation was not performed in response to this report because the product said to be involved was not provided to cook for evaluation.The report could not be confirmed.The device history record for the lot number said to be involved was reviewed.A discrepancy or anomaly was not observed with the product that was released for distribution.Investigation conclusion: we could not conduct a complete investigation because the product said to be involved was not returned for evaluation.A definitive cause for the reported observation could not be determined.The instructions for use product inspection: "beginning at the handle and moving toward the cups, uncoil the forceps making sure not to stretch the cable.Open and close the cups to verify smooth handle operation and appropriate cup action.Note: exercising the handle while the forceps is coiled may result in damage to the performance characteristics of the forceps." corrective action: a review of the complaint history was conducted.The likelihood of occurrence is considered rare.Corrective action is not warranted at this time based on the quality engineering risk assessment.Quality assurance will continue to monitor for complaint trends and reassess the risk assessment results as post market feedback continues to become available.
