  • Causa
    Depuysynthes reported that the ria drive shaft, tube assembly, and reamer head have the potential to break when incorrectly assembled or used improperly as follows: - failure to fully engage the reamer to shaft at assembly prior to surgery. incorrect assembly creates a reduced reamer/shaft contact surface area, in which excess rotational forces could cause breakage- use of ria drive shafts after the flats have become worn and rounded - use of any excess force beyond design limit - use with an incompatible power tool. precautionary statements are being added to the reamer / irrigator / aspirator (ria) surgical technique guide.
