A user facility medwatch report (b)(4) was received on 5/7/2023 reporting error displayed once plugged into electrical surgical unit machine "check instrument, mono 2 handswitch pressed, release switch, if issue persists, replace instrument" and handpiece non-operational.Another handpiece was used on secondary esu in room for case.This functioning handpiece was then tested on the first esu machine at end of case to confirm that it was a singular handpiece issue and worked as expected.The sample was returned and evaluated.The root cause was determined to be the manufacturing operator was not correctly following the soldering chip procedure.There was a soldering bridge found in the pc board causing the cautery pencil to malfunction.Corrective action: all manufacturing operators involved were retrained on the soldering chip procedure.Production records were reviewed, and no issues were found.An inventory check of the cautery pencils was made by deroyal, a total of 31 cases of the 88-000002 were inspected, and no discrepancies were identified during the inspection.This investigation is complete at this time.No further information is available at this time.We will provide follow-up report if additional information becomes available.
