Device was used for treatment, not diagnosis.If information is obtained that was not available for this medwatch, a supplemental medwatch report will be filed as appropriate.The actual device was returned for evaluation.The cutter device was evaluated and the reported condition that the cutter became stuck in the attachment device and could not be released was not confirmed.It was determined that a user error caused the cutter to remain locked inside the handpiece while the attachment was loose.The cutter could be easily removed by turning the locking mechanism directly.However, during evaluation it was observed that the cutter device showed normal signs of wear on the cutting edges.The assignable root cause of this condition was determined to be traced to component failure due to normal wear.Udi ¿ (b)(4).
