This complaint information has been re-evaluated by the manufacturer for mdr reporting and it was determined that this case does not meet the threshold for reporting and is a non-reportable event.The guard would remain attached to the drill, and the suction part would be connected to the suction tube, which is also "secured" to the drill handle, ensuring that no piece is at risk of falling into the patient.If further details are provided confirming the occurrence of a reportable event, our files will be updated accordingly, and a further report submitted outlining both the event details and our investigations performed.
