This report is being submitted in pursuant to the provisions of 21 cfr, part 803.This report may be based on information which has not been able to investigate or verify prior to the required reporting date.This report does not reflect a conclusion by mitek or its employees that the report constitutes an admission that the device, mitek, or its employees caused or contributed to the potential event described in this report.If information is obtained that was not available for the initial medwatch, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.H4: the device manufacture date was reported as unknown on the initial report; and has been updated accordingly.Investigation summary : devices reported in this complaint were received for evaluation, a visual inspection and functional test were conducted.The result for this test indicated that the devices could not be assembled into micro tornado handpiece (p/n 283512).The burrs were then measured, and it was identified that 2 burr features of the outer blade hub were over the upper limit; this information was sent to r&d lab confirmed that 2 burr features were oversized (12.575mm feature and 15.72mm feature).A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number: m2106005, and no non conformances were identified.Manufacturing was notified about the condition and a nonconformance record was created to continue the investigation, root cause determination and mitigation of the issue.The supplier has conducted prior investigation indicating a probable root cause is unforeseen growth in outer blade hub (part that is assembled onto micro tornado handpiece) dimension post-induction welding process leading to oversized condition--particularly on hub components on higher end of specification pre-weld.Short term mitigations in place under a nonconformance record to implement additional inspection step post-induction welding process.The dimensional issue would result in difficulty of assembling the burr into the handpiece.Insertion, however, is still possible but will necessitate an extra amount of force as noted on the test performed.Full engagement is a requisite for optimal function.Once achieved, the device functions as intended with no issue.As during the investigation other lots were found to be affected, the failure mod was escalated to upper management.Depuy synthes mitek will continue to track any related complaints within this device family as a means of monitoring the extent with which this complaint is observed in the field.
