Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The cusa clarity 23khz handpiece (c7023) was not returned for evaluation (as the facility was unsure on which handpiece they used) therefore, an evaluation of the device could not be performed.Additionally, lot number information has not been provided; therefore, device history record (dhr) could not be reviewed.The root cause of the reported issue could not be determined.Based on the reported failure of "handpiece not cooling, patient and user burned" the complaint may have been a result of cooling system failure.However, without testing device it is not possible to verify.If additional relevant information becomes available in the future, this complaint will be reopened, and the respective evaluation performed.Trends will be monitored for this and similar issues.At present, we consider this complaint to be closed.
