Corrections: d1, brand name: power control console 2i with irrigation, d2, common device name: power control console 2i with irrigation, d3, manufacturer email: (b)(4), d4, model # 450-0005-01 and udi #(b)(4), d9, device available for evaluation? no, g1, contact office email: (b)(4), h3, device evaluated by manufacturer? [x] not returned to manufacturer.Narrative: the power control console 2i with irrigation, 450-0005-01/ serial # (b)(6) (loaner console) was not returned.A two-year review did not identify any complaints and ncr related to this issue.After the occurrence of the event the customer was provided a loaner console (part # 450-0005-01/serial # (b)(6)) and the customer's console (part # 450-0005/serial # (b)(6)) and motor unit (part # 450-0084/serial # (b)(6)) was returned.The returned product was evaluated.The kink in the cable was evaluated and no loss of insulation was identified internally when the cable was opened.Retesting the console to the internal product release testing requirement did not identify any failure that is relevant to this complaint.The console passed all the safety tests per otr-0026 rev.J, (electrical test record--control console assembly, osteopower iii) but failed the irrigation pump functional test.This failure is normal considering that console has not been services for more than 20 years.During the communication with the customer about the failure, the customer stated that the loaner unit (part # 450-0005-01/serial # (b)(6)) exhibited the same issue and "the surgical assistant figured out the problem is that she had the unit plugged into a surge protector and not into a grounded wall socket.After plugging directly to the grounded wall socket the problem was solved." the caution label clearly stated that grounding reliability can only be achieved when the equipment is connected to an equivalent receptacle marked hospital only or hospital grade.The customer not using a receptacle with a proper grounding is assumed to be the most probable cause for this failure.The fmea-98019 rev: h for the osteopower system was reviewed and covers the risk of potential shock hazards.The final predicted risk is "low".Based on returned product testing and investigation assessment performed an exact root cause could not be determined, but the most probable cause is the customer not following the labeling and instructions to use a plug with proper grounding.The returned units will be held in quarantine unless/until customer for it to be returned, upon which it will go through normal service process and send back to the customer.This issue will be monitored through routine trending.
