    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    DEVICE USED FOR TREATMENT AND NOT DIAGNOSIS. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION NOT PREVIOUSLY REPORTED. THE INVESTIGATION OF THE COMPLAINED LCP DRILL SLEEVES HAS REVEALED THAT THESE REALLY SHOW TRACES OF CORROSION . THE VISIBLE TRACES CAN BE EASILY REMOVED. THEREFORE WE CAN DEFINE CLEARLY, THAT THIS IS AN ACCRETION OF CONTACT CORROSION. ACCORDING OF CORROSION CAN BE GENERALLY SAID, THAT ALL MATERIALS ALSO SO-CALLED STAINLESS STEELS ARE CONDITIONALLY RESISTANT TO RUST. THE RUST RESISTANT APPLIES ONLY IF THE MATERIAL IS STORED DRY AND IS FREE OF CONTACT WITH OTHER METAL OBJECTS. ALL METALLIC CONTACTS IN DAMP OR WET CONDITIONS PRODUCE ELECTROLYTIC REACTIONS WITH CONTACT CORROSION AS RESULT. THAT IS A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR.
