Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information received in the section of h.6., and h.11.The functional history of the returned handpiece was evaluated, where it was found to have been re-used greater than 400 times.Per its directions for use, ¿when the handpiece is used properly per this directions for use, 400 re-uses have been verified.¿ therefore, as the product was re-used beyond its verified life, additional evaluation is not required.As stated in the console operator¿s manual, the system is designed to perform self-checks to ensure proper functionality.If the system detects an issue that may compromise the integrity of the system¿s output, then the system is designed to produce a system message to alert the user and to disable the affected function, handpiece, or system until the issue has been resolved.This is meant to preclude use of a compromised function, handpiece, or system for surgery.It should be noted that there was no harm to the patient nor did the handpiece itself pose any potential harm to the patient.The root cause of the customer's complaint is likely related to re-use beyond the verified life of the handpiece as stated in the directions for use.No action will be taken for this occurrence, as the root cause of the customer complaint is likely related to customer re-use beyond the verified life of the handpiece as stated in the directions for use.Quality assurance will continue to monitor for evidence of adverse trending of reported events and take further action, as appropriate.At a minimum, this will include completing reviews of complaint event code levels on a monthly basis by the product team.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
