Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Internal complaint reference case-(b)(4).Updated.The reported device was received for evaluation.A visual inspection performed on the product observed that the cord is damaged exposing wires.Functional evaluation revealed the right pedal does not function.A review of device records showed there were no indications to suggest that the product did not meet manufacturing specifications upon release for distribution.A complaint history review found similar reported events.A risk management review found that the reported failure and/or harm was documented appropriately, and there were no indications to suggest the anticipated risk is not adequate.The root cause has been associated with unintended use of the device.Factors, which could have contributed to the reported event include fatigue from repeated bending of the cord during extended use and crushing or shear force induced on the cord inconsistent with normal use.Such damage can prevent the footswitch from activating the controller.No containment or corrective actions are recommended at this time.
