Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device was used for treatment, not diagnosis.A product development investigation was performed for the subject device (11.0mm/8.0mm protection sleeve153mm, part number 357.386, lot number 5058562).The 357.386, lot number 5058562, 11.0mm/8.0mm protection sleeve 153mm was returned with bent edges on the distal end.The edges are bent towards the center of axis of the insertion hole, which prevents the 357.389 drill sleeve from fully engaging with and passing through the protection sleeve.This complaint against the protection sleeve is confirmed.The 357.387, lot number 5171129, 4.0mm trocar 176mm was returned with a bent shaft.The bent shaft causes resistance when engaging with the 357.389 drill sleeve.This complaint against the trocar is confirmed.The 357.389, lot number 5133403, 8.0mm/4.0mm drill sleeve 164mm was returned with no malfunctions or defects found which potentially affects the function of the device or complaint condition.The instrument was not observed to be bent.The complaint against the drill sleeve is unconfirmed as the device interaction complaint cause is isolated to the protection sleeve and trocar.Upon visual inspection there is no evidence that this device contributed to the complaint condition.A visual inspection, functional test, dhr review, and drawing review were performed as part of this investigation.This complaint was able to be replicated at customer quality (cq), when engaging all three instruments, the devices stick/jam due to the malfunctions observed on the protection sleeve and trocar.Although a definitive root cause could not be determined, it is likely that this complaint condition was due to rough handling during surgery/sterile processing and/or consistent use and cumulative wear over the part¿s lifetime.If information is obtained that was not available for the initial medwatch, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.
