[26332434]
The visual investigation of the returned bone curette by the complaint handling unit noted damage on the distal end of the curette. The investigation has shown; that the instrument is a long time in strong use and the cutting edge is broken on one side. The review of the material and production history revealed that the instrument was manufactured according to the specifications. Based on these findings we conclude that the cause of failure is not due to any manufacturing non-conformances. The complaint condition is likely the result of exceeding applied mechanical overload during use and a torsional move resulted to this damage. The complaint was determined to be invalid.
