Additional Manufacturer Narrative

H3.H6: the device, used in treatment, was not returned for evaluation.Therefore, a product analysis could not be performed at this time and the reported event could not be confirmed.A review of the device history records for the listed batch did not reveal any deviation from the standard manufacturing processes.A review of complaint history on the listed part revealed no prior complaints for the listed batch with the same failure mode.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.The device is a reusable instrument that can be exposed to numerous surgeries and cleaning cycles.As plastics are vulnerable and crack may have initiated during use and possible causes could be due to the heating and cooling associated with autoclaving or prolonged use.We recommend that all reusable instruments be routinely inspected for wear and damage and replaced as necessary.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Without the return of the actual product involved, our investigation could not proceed.Should the device or 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.
