Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The complaint allegation is confirmed.One unpackaged, sabre, sj, 3.0 mm x 7 cm, ar-7300sr, was received for investigation.Visual evaluation, under a magnifier, noted damage on the edges of the outer tip.Abrasion marks were also evident on the inner tube.Functional testing was not performed due to the damage to the device.The most likely cause for the observed condition is the application of excessive forces/side-loading on the device during use.Dfu-0215-eo; f-7, indicates that "excessive side-loading" can thus cause irreversible damage to the device.
