It was reported that "reference 200134s (the sterile version of the non-sterile burr 200134 included in the instrument set) appears to be slightly oversized at the distal end compared to the cannula it should pass through, reference 200166.Attached is an explanatory video: the first burr is the sterile one (ref 200134s), which gets stuck in the cannula, while the second is the non-sterile burr (ref 200134), which slides through the cannula without jamming.".

The reported event could be confirmed since the provided video matches the alleged failure mode.The device inspection revealed the following: a device inspection was not possible since the affected device was not returned for evaluation.However, a video was provided demonstrating the sterile drill could not fully advance through the cannula while the non sterile drill passed through without resistance.Quality assurance engineering reviewed the available information and noted that no units from the reported lot were available for evaluation.However, units from a different lot of the sterile drill were retrieved from inventory for assessment.Key dimensional measurements were performed and found to be within print specification.Based on the available information, the root cause of the reported issue could not be conclusively determined.More detailed information about the complaint event as well as the affected device must be available in order to determine the root cause of the complaint event.A review of the device history for the reported lot did not indicate any abnormalities.No corrective actions are required at this time.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.No indications of material, manufacturing or design related problems were found during the investigation.If the device is returned or if any additional information is provided, the investigation will be reassessed.
