We have not received the device for evaluation.Hence, we could not conclusively determine the root cause of the malfunction at this time.The malfunction was detected during preuse check.There has been no serious injury ( 21 cfr 803.3 ) nor would the malfunction result in a death or serious injury if it was to reoccur since the resector could not be used for the procedure.However, we have decided to report the incident since our evaluation was based on the reported defect from the user at the hospital, rather than our hands-on evaluation with this defective device itself.
