Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(6).The actual device was returned for evaluation.Reliability engineering evaluated the device and the reported condition was confirmed.A visual and functional assessment was performed on the device which found that the unit failed the saw blade coupling check and the set screw on the locking mechanism was found to be worn.It was further determined that the device failed the falling out protection steal ring check.During service/repair, it was observed that the magnetic support was broken, the set screw was worn and the threads came off the set screw and was stuck in the oscillator head.The assignable root cause was determined to be due to normal wear out from use.If information is obtained that was not available, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.
