Manufacturer Narrative
|
H10: the device history records have been reviewed and this lot met all release criteria.There was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.Three electronic images were reviewed.Two images show three wires within the left breast from different views.The third image was of a specimen.Wire #1 is an intact wire traversing a malignant mass.A biopsy marker is identified adjacent to the wire.The event for wire #1 is captured in this complaint and reported via this 3500a report.Wire #2 is anterior to the first wire.Wire #2 was noted to be significantly retracted and does not have a hook at the tip.The event for wire number #2 is covered under another complaint record and reported via 3500a mfr report # 2020394-2023-01244.Wire #3 is placed posterior to the first two wires.The tip of this wire is adjacent to the tip of the second wire which was fractured.The fractured hook from wire #2 is located medial to the target mass.As there was no alleged deficiency with wire number #3, no complaint record was opened for this event.The specimen photograph shows the following: two intact wires, a tissue marker, multiple surgical clips, and the small linear piece of metal (tip of wire #2).Based on the image review, the investigation for the reported break of wire #1 is unconfirmed, as only one wire out of the three implanted wires was noted to be broken.The broken wire #2 is captured under mfr report # 2020394-2023-01244.A definitive root cause for the alleged break could not be determined based upon the provided information.It is unknown whether patient and/or procedural issues contributed to the reported event.H10: d4 (expiry date: 04/2026), g3, h6 (method)
