H10 h6 the reported device was not returned to the designated complaint unit for independent evaluation, thus visual inspection and functional testing could not be performed.There was no way to determine if the device contributed to the reported event.A review of device records showed there were no indications to suggest that the product did not meet manufacturing specification upon release for distribution.A complaint history review found similar reported events.A risk management review found that the reported failure was documented appropriately, and there were no indications to suggest the anticipated risk is not adequate.The complaint was not confirmed.Factors which can contribute to overheating include a blade stall condition that will result in increased current draw from the control unit which will heat the motor and hand piece housing.This can be the result of gearbox corrosion caused by cleaning and sterilization methods and the chemicals involved.Please refer to the instructions for use for recommendations on proper use of the device and potential troubleshooting methods to prevent future reoccurrence of the reported event.No containment or corrective actions are recommended at this time.If the product associated with this event is returned at a future date, this investigation will be reopened for evaluation.
