Internal complaint reference: (b)(4).Additional information: d4, h6, and h11.Correction: b5.H11: the devices were not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.Device batch number was not provided, thus, an evaluation of the manufacturing records could not be performed.A review of complaint history of the previous 12 months revealed similar events for the listed part number, this failure mode will be monitored for future complaints for any necessary corrective actions.A review of the risk management file revealed this failure mode was previously identified.The anticipated risk level is still adequate.A historical review concluded that there are no prior actions related to this product and event.At this time, we have no evidence to conclude that the product failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.These devices are a reusable instrument that can be exposed to numerous surgeries.Damage from prolonged use, misuse or rough handling are likely potential factors that could contribute to the reported event.We recommend that all reusable instruments be routinely inspected for wear and damage and replaced as necessary.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should the devices or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.
