H10: the reported 90 degree diamond rasp, used in treatment, has been returned for evaluation.The device is over eight years old and shows normal wear.Visual assessment of the distal tip using a stereo microscope did not show any evidence of material missing.Reported complaint cannot be confirmed.The instruction for use outlines precautionary statements and instructions in regards to the use of the device to avoid damage or non-functionality.A review of the manufacturing and complaint records was performed for the reported lot, there were no indications that would suggest that the device did not meet product specifications upon release into distribution.Further investigation is not warranted at this time.Per e-mail communication the metallic debris /flakes from the diamond rasp were successfully retrieved from the patient.The procedure was completed with a back-up device with no delay or patient injury.The device was returned for analysis and the reported issue could not be confirmed.Since the patient was not harmed and backup a device was available no further clinical assessment is warranted.
