Block e1: this event was reported by the distributor.The health care facility is: (b)(6).Block h6 (device codes): device problem code a0501 captures the reportable event of internal bolster detached.Device problem code a010402 captures the reportable event of internal bolster migration.Block h10: an endovive securi t replacement bolster was returned.The internal bolster was detached.Dimensional inspection confirmed that the device measurements were within specifications.Microscope inspection revealed that the internal bolster was once attached showing remains of the internal bolster on the tube.Therefore, the reported complaint is confirmed.Based on the condition of the returned device, engineers determined that the most possible cause of the detachment may be related to some technique performed during the insertion that may have affected the device and during the time it was placed anatomical factors could have contributed then it may lead to the detachment inside the body after the procedure.Once the bolster was detached, it is most likely that the device ended migrating.Boston scientific has determined the most probable cause of this complaint is adverse event related to procedure.It is most likely that the adverse event occurred during the procedure and the device had no influence on event which led to the reported event.A review of the manufacturing documentation for this device revealed that no anomalies or deviations related to the event occurred during manufacturing.
