H11: upon re-evaluation of the information received by the manufacturer, it has been determined that this case does not meet the threshold for mdr reporting and is considered a non-reportable event.Additional information, including photographic evidence, confirms that the broken plastic part does not enter the patient during normal use, and the risk of any fragments entering the patient is considered minimal.Based on this assessment, the event is deemed non-reportable.Should further information arise indicating that a reportable event occurred, our files will be updated accordingly, and an mdr submission will be made detailing both the event and the investigations performed.
