H3, h6: the device, used in treatment, was not returned for evaluation and the reported event could not be confirmed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that per complaint details, the device cracked during impaction; however, the case was finished with the same device without ¿pieces lost¿ (no retained foreign body), surgical delay, or patient harm.No further complications were reported.Since no patient harm was alleged, no further medical assessment is warranted at this time.A complaint history review found related failures; this failure mode will be monitored for future complaints and assessed 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.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A review of the risk management file revealed this failure mode was previously identified.This device is a reusable instrument 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.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Without the return of the actual product involved or product information, our investigation could not proceed.Should the device or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
