Manufacturer Narrative
Evaluation summary: post market vigilance (pmv) led an evaluation one device opened by the account.This evaluation was based on a technical review of all data received from the site, a pmv review of manufacturing records, a pmv review of complaint trends, an engineering evaluation, and an evaluation of the returned device.The ratchet switch was disengaged.The rotation knob functioned without difficulty.The jaws were opened and closed, and grasped media without difficulty.A review of the device history record could not be performed because the lot number was not provided.However, records from each manufacturing lot are thoroughly reviewed to ensure that products are released meeting all quality release specifications at the time of manufacture.Replication of the secondary blades indicates that the instrument may have been exposed to an external force which bent the exposed metal bars.Should new information become available, the file will be re-opened and the investigation summary will be amended as appropriate.
