Block e1: (initial reporter address (b)(6).Imdrf device code a090402 captures the reportable event of device could not deliver energy block h10: investigation results a profile snare was received for analysis.Visual analysis of the returned device found that the handle part was not returned, the wire had a mechanical cut and the working length was melted and burnt indicating there was cauterization during the procedure which were also noted during microscope inspection.Electrical testing could not be performed due to the condition of the device.The reported event of unable to cauterize and/or apply electrical current was not confirmed.The analysis of the returned device showed that the working length was melted and blackened at the distal end, indicating there was cauterization during the procedure.Most likely, procedural factors such as the handling of the device and the technique used by the physician during initial use, set-up, or shortly thereafter could have affected its condition and led to the reported event.Based on the information available and the returned device analysis, the most probable root cause for the reported complaint is adverse event related to procedure.
