Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H3, h6: the associated device, intended for use in treatment, was returned and evaluated.A visual inspection of the returned r3 0deg 28mm trial 50mm confirms the device has multiple scratches/gouges in the plastic.The locking tabs are also broken, rendering the device inoperable.A review of complaint history did not reveal additional complaints for the listed batch.This device is a reusable instrument that can be exposed to numerous surgeries; damage from repeated use can occur.Damage from prolonged use, misuse or rough handling are likely probable causes of the reported event.We recommend that all reusable instruments be routinely inspected for wear and damage and replaced as necessary.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.We consider this investigation closed.
