Event or Problem Description
It was reported that during preparation, after mounting the blade on the microdebrider straightshot m5, testing the operation of the handpiece the hcp noticed that the terminal part of the blade, due to oscillation of the motor, vibrated consistently.Firstly they tried to reinsert the blade (but was firmly and correctly mounted), then to change the blade thinking to a defective product but also the second blade showed the same movement.After, they tried to change the handpiece to avoid that the issue was caused by a malfunctioning debrider but the problem occurred also with the second handpiece.Lastly they change the blade using another pack of the same model and everything worked properly.There was no patient involved in the event.
