    THE ACTUAL DEVICE WAS RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. RELIABILITY ENGINEERING EVALUATED THE DEVICE. THE DEVICE WAS TESTED AND FOUND THAT THE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOVE SPECIFICATION. THEREFORE, THE REPORTED CONDITION WAS DUPLICATED AND CONFIRMED. THE BEARINGS WERE DAMAGED WHICH CAUSED THE HIGH TEMPERATURE. THE ASSIGNABLE ROOT CAUSE WAS DETERMINED TO BE NORMAL WEAR OF COMPONENT PARTS OVER TIME. IF INFORMATION IS OBTAINED THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE INITIAL MEDWATCH, A FOLLOW-UP MEDWATCH WILL BE FILED AS APPROPRIATE.
