Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The device, intended for use in treatment was returned for evaluation.A visual inspection was conducted and confirmed that the straight screwdriver is stripped which causes it to not properly function.This device was manufactured in 2010.A complaint history review found related failures; this failure mode will be monitored for future complaints for any necessary corrective actions.A review of the device history records for the listed batch did not reveal any deviation from the standard manufacturing processes.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.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.We consider this investigation closed.
