    Narratives

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    THE COMPLAINT ALLEGATION IS CONFIRMED. ONE UNPACKAGED AR-9676, BATCH 022239, WAS RECEIVED FOR INVESTIGATION. THE VISUAL EVALUATION REVEALED HEAVY SCRATCHES AND LINES IN THE OUTSIDE DIAMETER AND SCRATCHES ALONG THE SHAFT. BOTH DEVICES ARRIVED SEPARATELY FOR INVESTIGATION. THE OBSERVED CONDITION IS MOST LIKELY DUE TO HEAVY USE. DURING THE FUNCTIONAL TESTING WITH THE AR-9597-20 PART FROM BATCH 37222223, RESISTANCE WAS ENCOUNTERED WHEN TRYING TO INSERT THE AR-9676. THE OBSERVED CONDITION IS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY OVERHEATING DURING USE, WHICH CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE AGE OR EXTENSIVE USE OF THE DEVICE.
