Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Report confirmed for the attachment.Evaluation determined that the foot of the attachment was broken/detached.It was also noted that the distal bearing was worn out, outer race of the bearing was missing, and the remaining inner race was corroded.This prevents the tool from being adequately supported and due to the lack of support, the rotating tool could come into contact with the base of the foot where it connects to the attachment.This also can cause an uneven load to be placed on the foot of the attachment and eventually lead to torsional fracture.No conclusion can be drawn for the tool.No evaluation was performed, as the device was discarded by the customer.Previous investigation performed under pr#(b)(4) determined that the likely causes are debris in the collet and improper insertion of the tool.The user manual contains the following warnings ¿do not use a legend attachment if any part of the attachment appears to be bent, loose, missing or damaged.Do not use excessive pressure, such as bending or prying, on attachments or dissecting tools.This may cause tool to bend or break and cause injury to patient, operator and/or operating room staff." in addition, ¿insert dissecting tool into motor collet with a slight rotational motion.A tactile and audible click is observed indicating t hat the dissecting tool is fully seated.¿ the preventive maintenance/service manual for the legend system specifies service intervals for devices based on the hospital usage level.The maximum specified service interval is 24 months.Device has been in use for app roximately 59 months with no record of factory service during this period.We will continue to track and trend this complaint type.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
