Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The product was returned for investigation and the reported failure mode was confirmed.Alleged failure: the inner blade got stuck and stopped spinning.They found the tip was torn and broken off.The probable root cause/s could be the blade coming in contact with a hard object causing damage to the teeth and hitting the housing edges.Excessive pressure, such as bending or prying, may cause the arthroscopic shaver blades to bend/break.The failure mode will be monitored for future reoccurrence.
