ADDITIONALLY, CORROSION PATTERNS WERE FOUND BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CUTTING SURFACE.

THEREFORE WE ARE ABLE TO CONFIRM DULLNESS WITH DAMAGE OBSERVED, AS THIS KIND OF EVIDENCE INDICATES REPEATED USE OF THE DEVICE. WHERE CORROSION/OXIDATION WAS IDENTIFIED AROUND THE CUTTING SURFACE OF THE DEVICE, ALONGSIDE DAMAGE CONSISTENT WITH NORMAL WEAR, THIS SUGGESTS THAT THE PASSIVE LAYER OF THE METAL HAS BEEN WORN DOWN FROM REPEATED USE (DUE TO NORMAL USE DAMAGE) ALLOWING FOR THE METALLIC SURFACE UNDERNEATH TO BECOME SUSCEPTIBLE TO CORROSION/OXIDATION. THE LIFECYCLE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DEVICE ARE EVENT RELATED AND DEPEND ON THE USE IN CLINICAL PRACTICE, THE DEVICE MUST BE PROPERLY INSPECTED PRIOR TO EACH SURGICAL USE. REFER TO THE DEVICE/COUNTRY SPECIFIC IFU FOR INFORMATION RELATED TO END OF LIFE, REPROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS, AND INSPECTION PROCEDURES.
