Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The reported event could be confirmed, since the sleeve was stuck on the drill bit as complained.The device inspection revealed the following: the inspection has shown that the drill sleeve is completely stuck on the drill bit in the received condition, no movement between the devices was possible.After disassembling, a deformation at the forefront of the drill sleeve became visible, most likely caused by a hit with another instrument or a drop to the ground.Due to this deformation the diameter at the forefront of the sleeve was reduced, which did lead to reduced clearance between the drill bit and the guide.A review of the device history for the reported lot did not indicate any abnormalities.No indications of manufacturing or design related problems were found during the investigation.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.Based on the investigation, with the extent of damage, it can be ascertained that the root cause of the issue is user related.Drill bits getting stuck inside the sleeve is a direct result of excessive friction between the drill and the sleeve due to a potential misalignment during use in combination with the use of damaged drill sleeve, which finally leads to fretting.If any further information is provided, the complaint report will be updated.
