Reported event of ¿blade broke¿ was confirmed.The device will not be returned for evaluation, but photographic evidence has been provided.A root cause cannot be determined; however, based upon evaluation of the device, a possible cause of this event could be the use of excessive force.The manufacturing documents from the device history record have been reviewed with special attention to the manufacturing and inspection of the product.The product released for distribution was found to have met all specifications prior to shipment.A two-year lot history review shows a total of 1 device for this lot number and failure mode.(b)(4).Per the instructions for use, the user is advised the following: do not stall handpieces, damage can occur.Precaution: when operating the powerpro electric ii oscillator handpiece, let the saw blade do the cutting.Too much force will bind the blade which can damage the handpiece.We will continue to monitor per regulatory requirements to help ensure patient safety.
