Manufacturer Narrative

Block e1 (initial reporter city): (b)(6).Block h6 (device codes): the returned endovive safety peg tube was analyzed, and a visual analysis noted that the distal section of the silicone tube was found to have evidence of detachment.Microscopic analysis confirmed the evidence of detachment in the distal section.No other problems with the device were noted.The reported event of peg tube torn could not be confirmed as the silicon tube was not torn on the returned device.However, during product analysis, it was determined that the device was returned with evidence of detachment in the distal section.It is possible that procedural factors such as lesion characteristics, handling of the device, and/or the technique and force used by the physician could have resulted in the physical damage to the device.Therefore, the most probable root cause is adverse event related to procedure.A labeling review was performed and from the information available, this device was used per the directions for use (dfu)/product label.
