Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information was received on 11-october-2021: during bypass surgery, the four laparoscopy forceps injured the patient as soon as they were in contact with him.They led to some bleeding during the use on small intestine and one of them pierced the small intestine.The increase of surgery time was more than 30 minutes.No information was provided on the status of the patient now.The suspected insert (cev625-1) was returned for evaluation: the device history record (dhr) was reviewed, and no anomalies related to the reported failure was observed.Failure analysis: evaluation of the insert was unable to conclusively verify the complaint as valid.It was found that returned insert was bent.The jaws were compliant; there was no burrs or sharpened part which can explain the reported event.It was determined that the reported event is not related to this device.The customer was called on (b)(6) 2021 to inform that there was no traumatic part on the device.According to the operating room nurse, it was a "difficult" patient.Root cause analysis: because the evaluation was unable to conclusively verify the complaint as valid, an investigation for cause of the event was unable to be performed.The event may be due to the sensitivity of the patient.The insert was probably bent during the reprocessing or the storage of the device.
