|
The device, intended for use in treatment, was returned for evaluation.A visual inspection confirms the adjustment knob is loose causing the device not to adjust properly.The device shows signs of significant wear/usage.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 manufacturing records did not reveal any manufacturing abnormalities that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.This device is a reusable instrument that can be exposed to numerous surgeries; damage from repeated use can occur.Expected wear/tear is likely the probable cause of the reported event.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.
