Patient Sequence No: 1, Text Type: N, H10


[32244660] An investigation was performed; the investigation of the returned containers for k-wires has confirmed that one or more lips are broken off. The containers are made of polyphenylene sulfone (ppsu) and should resist several thousand sterilization cycles. However, it should be noted that the resistance of ppsu becomes very restricted due to combinations of chemical, thermal and mechanical loads. Thus it is known that contact with some rinse aid can lead to stress cracking. Therefore; the use of a rinse aid, whose compatibility with polyphenylene sulfone is guaranteed by the supplier. As no product fault could be detected, no further action required. If information is obtained that was not available for the initial medwatch, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.
Patient Sequence No: 1, Text Type: N, H10
