    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    H6: THE ASSOCIATED DEVICE, USED IN TREATMENT, WAS RETURNED AND EVALUATED. A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE RETURNED DEVICE CONFIRMED THE STATED FAILURE MODE. THE DEVICE IS SEVERELY SCRATCHED UP AND MISSING THE COATING, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO READ THE RULER. THIS RENDERS THE DEVICE INOPERATIVE. THE DEVICE SHOWS SIGNS OF EXTENSIVE USE. A REVIEW OF COMPLAINT HISTORY DID NOT REVEAL ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS FOR THE LISTED BATCH. A REVIEW OF THE MANUFACTURING RECORDS DID NOT REVEAL A MANUFACTURING ABNORMALITY THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO THE REPORTED INCIDENT. AT THIS TIME, WE DO NOT HAVE REASON TO SUSPECT THAT THE PRODUCT FAILED TO MEET ANY PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURE. WEAR POTENTIAL CAUSES COULD INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO FRICTION, JOINT TIGHTNESS OR LIFETIME OF DEVICE. BASED ON THIS INVESTIGATION, THE NEED FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION IS NOT INDICATED. SHOULD ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BE RECEIVED, THE COMPLAINT WILL BE REOPENED. NO FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS WARRANTED FOR THIS COMPLAINT; HOWEVER, WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FUTURE COMPLAINTS AND INVESTIGATE AS NECESSARY. WE CONSIDER THIS INVESTIGATION CLOSED.
