VISUAL INSPECTION: THE TENSION HOLDER F/TEMP-USE (PART #: 391.884, LOT #: P313918) WAS INSPECTED BY RTI. UPON VISUAL INSPECTION, THE THE CAM LEVER SURFACE WAS FOUND TO BE GALLED. FUNCTIONAL TEST: DURING FUNCTIONAL INSPECTION THE CAM LEVER WAS FOUND TO BE DIFFICULT TO LOCK ONTO 1.7MM CABLE. ONCE LUBRICATED THE CAM LEVER WAS ABLE TO LOCK AND THE REAR BIT PASSED FUNCTIONAL TESTING PER WI-ENG-006 WITH A TENSIONING READING OF 42.0K AND ONE CABLE FRAY. COMPLIANT COULD NOT BE REPLICATED AFTER THE DEVICE WAS LUBRICATED. DIMENSIONAL INSPECTION: NO DIMENSIONAL INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED BECAUSE THE COMPLAINT WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE AS THE DEVICE PASSED FUNCTIONAL TESTING. DOCUMENT/SPECIFICATION REVIEW: FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS WERE REVIEWED; 391_884.DRW REV D (CURRENT) AND REV C (MANUFACTURED) WERE REVIEWED. A DHR REVIEW WAS CONDUCTED BY THE SUPPLIER AND IT REVEALED THAT THE DEVICE MET MANUFACTURING SPECIFICATION PRIOR TO SHIPPING. NO DESIGN ISSUES OR DISCREPANCIES WERE IDENTIFIED. COMPLAINT WAS CONFIRMED. INVESTIGATION CONCLUSION: THE COMPLAINT CONDITION WAS CONFIRMED FOR THE TENSION HOLDER F/TEMP-USE (PART #: 391.884, LOT #: P313918) AS THE DEVICE WAS VISUALLY INSPECTED AND FOUND TO HAVE ITS CAM LEVER SURFACE GALLED (DEEP SCRATCHES). ALSO THE CAM LEVER ON THE DEVICE WAS FOUND DIFFICULT TO LOCK THE 1.7MM CABLE UNTIL LUBRICATED. THE AS RECEIVED CONDITION COULD POTENTIALLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE REPORTED CONDITION. NO ROOT CAUSE COULD DEFINITIVELY BE DETERMINED FOR THE REPORTED COMPLAINT CONDITION BUT IT IS LIKELY THE DEVICE EXPERIENCED EXTREME MECHANICAL STRESS AND SOME POOR MAINTENANCE ISSUES. NO NEW, UNIQUE OR DIFFERENT PATIENT HARMS WERE IDENTIFIED AS A RESULT OF THIS EVALUATION. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING ISSUE CONTRIBUTED TO THE COMPLAINT. NO DESIGN ISSUES WERE OBSERVED DURING THE DOCUMENT/SPECIFICATION REVIEW. BASED ON THE INVESTIGATION FINDINGS, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT NO CORRECTIVE AND/OR PREVENTIVE ACTION IS PROPOSED.
