Manufacturer Narrative

Analysis of the returned uphold¿ lite with capio slim revealed that the suture o the blue dilator was broken.The dart was located behind the cage of the capio slim.There was a small amount of suture attached to the dart.Analysis also revealed no damage to the capio slim suture capturing device.A review of the device history record (dhr) indicated that the device met all material, assembly, and product specifications at the time of release to distribution.However, the investigation concluded that the most probable cause for this event is manufacturing process design because the design or validation of the manufacturing process was not sufficient to ensure the finished device met the intent of the design.The investigation concluded that the design of the carrier allows the fiber portion of the suture to interact with the sharp edge of the carrier, resulting in suture severing.The issue is under investigation and a correction has not yet been implemented.Updated based on the finding that the dart remained in the capio device.
