Product investigation summary: the application instrument (part: 329. 323 / lot: 3076204) was returned with a report that it would not be seat the clamps as it should. The complaint condition was likely caused by dullness and wear from over seven years of consistent use; however, this complaint is not likely a result of any design or manufacturing related deficiency. A visual inspection, functional test and drawing review were performed as part of this investigation. The application instrument is routinely used in the cranial clamps with application instrument system. The crimping and cutting edges of the returned device show some wear and dullness that could possibly preclude proper clamp fixation. The device was manufactured in january, 2009 and is over seven years old. The balance of the returned device is in otherwise good condition, although the spring mechanism does run somewhat roughly. The relevant drawing was reviewed and determined to be suitable for the intended design, application, and dimensional conformity when used as recommended. The condition of the returned device does agree with the complaint description. Whether the complaint condition for this device can be replicated is not applicable. Upon review of the device history record, no non-conformances were noted during the production of this device. Device used for treatment, not diagnosis. If information is obtained that was not available for the initial medwatch, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.
