Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This supplemental report is being submitted to provide the results of the legal manufacturer¿s investigation and a b5 correction.The device history records for this device were reviewed and all records indicated that the product was manufactured according to all applicable procedures and met final product release criteria.No abnormalities were found.The root cause of the issue could not be conclusively specified.It was confirmed that the brush had lost hair and the shaft was bent.It was likely that this phenomenon was caused by the bending of the shaft, which created a gap in the part where the hair was bundled.Bending of the shaft occurred when an external force was applied to the brush during the first use.Alternatively, it is likely that it was caused by the application of external force during transportation or storage to the facility.The instructions for use (ifu) provides the following guidelines: when inserting the channel-opening cleaning brush (mh-507), the single use channel-opening cleaning brush (maj-1339), or the single use combination cleaning brush (bw-412t) into the suction cylinder, do not forcibly insert the brush beyond the middle of the brush section.Otherwise, the brush may become stuck in the suction cylinder.Corrected data: b5.
