Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Report not confirmed.Evaluation could not reproduce the reported malfunction of drill spun in the doctor's hand.The overall condition of the ad01 attachment was good.There was no obvious damage.Testing was conducted, and the device functioned normally.As soon as the perforator cut through the bone, the cutting edge of the tip stopped, but the ad01 was spinning.While using a firm grip, the motor did not spin in the tester¿s hand and was stable.The most probable cause for the reported event is that the facility user may not have held the device securely and the device may not have been positioned perpendicular to the skull.This technique may have contributed to the user¿s experience.The device user manual warnings section includes instructions to check the device for damage before use.If damage is found, the device should not be used.We will continue to track and trend this complaint type.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
