    QN#(B)(6) THE DHR FOR THE RETURNED INSTRUMENT WAS REVIEWED AND FOUND COMPLETELY WITHOUT ANY IRREGULARITIES. THIS INSTRUMENT WAS PRODUCED AT THE TECOMET , INC. KENOSHA WI FACILITY AS PART OF A (B)(4) PC. LOT IN FEBRUARY OF 2020. EVALUATION OF THE RETURNED INSTRUMENT SHOWS THAT THE TIPS ARE SLIGHTLY LOOSE AND MISALIGNED TO EACH OTHER IN THE CLOSED POSITION. THERE WAS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE FOUND TO THE JAW PIVOT PIN AS STATED IN THIS COMPLAINT. AFTER THE INITIAL EVALUATION THIS INSTRUMENT WAS DIS-ASSEMBLED IN ORDER TO EVALUATE ITS INTERNAL COMPONENTS AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THE INNER DRIVE ROD (N00185) FINGERS ARE BOTH DAMAGED WHERE THEY ENGAGE THE JAWS. IT IS SUSPECTED THAT THE DAMAGED DRIVE ROD FINGERS CAUSED THE JAWS TO BECOME SLIGHTLY LOOSE AND MISALIGNED IN THE CLOSED POSITION. WE ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE DRIVE ROD FINGERS TO BECOME DAMAGED BUT MISHANDLING OF THIS DEVICE AT THE END USER'S FACILITY IS SUSPECTED. ALL (B)(4) INSTRUMENTS FROM THIS LOT WERE 100% VISUALLY INSPECTED AND FUNCTION TESTED PRIOR TO SHIPMENT TO THE CUSTOMER AS THIS IS A STANDARDIZED PROCEDURE AT THIS FACILITY FOR THIS PRODUCT LINE. DUE TO THESE FINDINGS, NO FURTHER ACTIONS WILL BE TAKEN IN RESPONSE TO THIS COMPLAINT AND THIS RECORD WILL BE DEEMED CLOSED.
