Manufacturer Narrative

While there is no indication that serious injury resulted in this event, there has been a previous report received where this malfunction has caused file separation. Since separation of a file could necessitate medical/surgical intervention to preclude permanent damage to a body structure or permanent impairment of a body function, this malfunction would be likely to cause/contribute to a serious injury should it recur. As such, this event meets the criteria for reportability per 21 cfr part 803. Multiple unsuccessful attempts were made to obtain the device for evaluation.

Event Description

In this event it was reported that a x-smart equipment suddenly stopped during root canal treatment. There was no patient's injury.
