Integra has completed their internal investigation on june 7, 2016. The investigation included: methods: evaluation of actual device. Review of device history records. Review of complaints history. Results: evaluation of returned device: the handles are harder to work than it usually is. However, they are still compliant with the manufacturing specifications and work properly after lubrication. Dhr review: no nonconformity for this lot. Complaints history: no complaint for this lot. Conclusion: the most probable cause of this stiffness is the lack of regular lubrication during the reprocessing of the forceps.
