AARON MEDICAL INDUSTRIES AARON REPLACEMENT TIP FOR CAUTERY HANDLE   back to search results
Model Number H101
Event Type  Malfunction  
Event Description

Customer experienced problem with replaceable tip not holding to the handle well. Concerned that tip will fall out and cause injury.

 
Manufacturer Narrative

The device returned was found to not fit securely and was determined to have insufficient crimping on the brass posts that attach to the cautery device. The user returned another sample of the same device and same lot that had not been used. This was inspected and was within specification and functioned as intended. A corrective action has been implemented to determine cause of this non-conformance. During the manufacture process the crimping device used to perform the crimping function is tested before use and samples are inspected after crimping has been performed. No non-conformances were found during the manufacture of this device/lot.
