Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The reported event was confirmed as the visual evaluation of the received ar-13999mff with batch 15176626 found that the jaw does not close completely.Functional testing with a needle (ar-13995n, batch 13941157) found no construction on the shaft.However, it was confirmed that the jaw did not close completely when the finger was pressed (see evaluation pictures 2 - 4).The most likely cause of the reported failure is wear and tear over repetitive usage.Further, the visual evaluation revealed that the handle and the tip have discoloration (see evaluation pictures 5 - 7).
