The dentist refused to provide any information about patient.Further inspection of the handpiece involved in the adverse event for cause by (b)(6) is no longer possible because the handpiece was serviced by the distributor (nsk america) and returned to the user.Due to the device not being returned from the distributor, (b)(6) examined the device history record (dhr) for the subject z900l device [serial no.(b)(6)].As a result of the examination, the dhr indicated that no problems occurred during manufacturing and testing of the subject device.
