    Narratives

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE HANDPIECE WAS RECEIVED AT THE MANUFACTURER FOR SERVICE AND EVALUATION. DURING THE INVESTIGATION, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BLADE MOUNT IS CHIPPED. BASED ON THE INVESTIGATION DETAILS, THIS CAN OCCUR IF NON-MANUFACTURER BLADES ARE USED WITH THE HANDPIECE OR IF THE BLADE WAS NOT PROPERLY SEATED IN THE HANDPIECE. THIS FAILURE COULD RENDER THE HANDPIECE USELESS DUE TO A LOOSE FITTING BLADE. IF THE HANDPIECE WAS OPERATED IN THIS FAILED CONDITION, IT MAY BE POSSIBLE THAT THE BLADE WOULD NOT CUT PROPERLY DUE TO THIS CHIP.
