Manufacturer Narrative

Block h6: problem code 2610 for the reportable issue of bands failed to deploy.Block h10: investigation results received one speedband superview super 7 device.It was possible to obseve that the ligator head was returned with its original shrink wrap cover and no visual damages found.Visual examination of the trip wire was partially rolled in the handle assembly slot, indicating that initially, the handle knob could be rotated.The trip wire was not properly secured in the handle assembly slot and it was caught between the handle bracket and handle post.Functional evaluation was performed and it was noted that the handle knob was unable to rotate due to the trip wire inadequately secured.A labeling review was performed and from the information available, this device was not used per the directions for use (dfu)/product label.Based on the evaluation of the returned device, the trip wire was not properly secured in the handle assembly slot and due to this condition the trip wire got caught between the handle bracket and handle post causing the handle knob unable to be rotated affecting the overall performance of the device.This failure is likely related to misuse of the device without any design or manufacturing issue.Therefore, the most probable root cause is failure to follow instructions.A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed and confirmed that this device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.
