Implanted date: device was not implanted.Explanted date: device was not explanted.Health professional - requested, not provided.Occupation - requested, not provided.Pma/510(k)- k130520.A review of the manufacturing record and the product release judgement record of the involved product code/lot# combination confirmed there were no indications of anomaly in them.A search of the complaint file found no other similar report with the involved product/lot# combination.The actual device was discarded by the user facility.An image provided by the user showed that the flange of l-connector of the actual sample had been chipped.Simulation test: a female l-connector was connected to a factory-retained sampling system, and then exposed to a tensile load.As a result, the flange of the female l-connector was chipped.Based on our experience, it was likely that the l-connector was exposed to a tensile load at some point during the period between the assembly process in our factory and actual use by the customer, which resulted in the chip in the flange.However, since the actual sample was not available for analysis, the cause of occurrence could not be clarified.Ifu states: "if the product is dropped during set-up, do not use it.Replace with another device.(a.Set-up, caution)" (b)(4).
