Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H10: h3, h6: the reported device was received for evaluation.A visual inspection revealed that it is not in its original packaging.The exterior of the inner blade hub and the interior of the outer blade hub are partially melted and have plastic fraying due to the damage.There is some plastic shedding due to the damage.A review of device records showed there were no indications to suggest that the product did not meet manufacturing specifications 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.A definitive root cause for the reported issue could not be determined.Factors that could have contributed to the failure include rotating the device at speeds faster than intended, running the device for long periods of time without allowing it to cool, or excessive force on the device creating excess friction.Based on this investigation, there is no evidence to suggest a design, material or manufacturing issue.Therefore, the need for corrective action is not indicated.
