The scissor tip was forwarded to quality engineering for evaluation.A plastic bag with a scissor assembly and a loose shrink tube were examined.The scissor when examined under magnification showed no indication of damage and functioned properly when attached to the handpiece.The shrink tube was "shrunk" which would indicate that it was subjected to heat during the assembly process.When the tube was reinstalled, it appears to be somewhat loose and had some appearance of stretching.Upon examination under magnification, it appears that the shrink tube may have been in contact with a canula or some object causing the shrink tubing to be forced free from the scissor.
