H3: product analysis: an overheating test could not be conducted due to another device malfunction.The likely cause was identified as bearings are worn out and some are stuck/ lodged in attachment.The inner tube of attachment seems to be unthreading as well due to inadequate preventative maintenance.It was also noted that, since the tool was taken apart due to overheating, the failed worn bearings most likely led to the tube unthreading the opposite way, causing rubbing in the tube when its in use and spins, leading to the over heating and ultimate failure of the attachment, especially if someone was trying to put it back together.This regulatory report is being submitted due to a retrospective review through capa 624392.Medtronic submits this report to comply with fda regulations 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to provide as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.Medtronic will submit a supplemental report if additional relevant information becomes known.
