H10: internal complaint reference (b)(4).H3, h6: the reported device was not returned to the designated complaint unit for independent evaluation.However, an image evaluation was performed and found the device and next to it the head/tip.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 no similar reported events.A risk management review found that the reported failure and/or harm was documented appropriately, and there were no indications to suggest the anticipated risk is not adequate.The root cause could not be determined since findings cannot lead to a clear cause of the reported event.Factors that could have contributed to the failure include rough handling or excessive force to the device.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.
