Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The device was received for evaluation.A visual inspection was performed on the product and no issue was observed.There was a relationship found between the returned device and the reported incident.Product first failed functional testing when the oscillate button failed to function causing hand piece error.Cause of oscillate button malfunction is a corroded oscillate button magnet that was severely corroded.After stuck button was removed the mdu failed for motor stall error and overheating.Cause of overheating and errors is a corroded motor/gearbox.The motor/gearbox assembly could not be removed from the housing for further assessment due to corrosion.The complaint was confirmed and the root cause has been determined to be corrosion of the motor and gearbox assembly.A motor stall condition will result in increased current draw from the control unit which will heat the motor and hand piece housing.Factors which can contribute to gearbox corrosion include cleaning and sterilization methods and the chemicals involved.A review of the device history records showed there were no indications to suggest that the product did not meet manufacturing specification or would not be able to perform as intended.
