Block h6: device code 2610 for the reportable issue of bands failed to deploy.Device code 1069 for the reported issue of handle broken.Block h10: investigation results the returned speedband superview super 7 was analyzed, and a visual evaluation noted that the ligator head was not returned with the device.It was noticed that the crimp was present on the tripwire.It was also noted that the tripwire was not secured in the spool of the handle, as there were no drag marks found and the trip wire was attached to the shank welded.Some drag marks were found on the spool of the handle, indicating that the device was highly manipulated.It was possible to observe that a deformation was found at the edge of the handle bracket.Additionally, the suture remained attached to the tripwire loop and showed seven knots.Functional evaluation could not be performed due to the handle that could not be rotated.No other issues with the device were noted.The reported event was confirmed.Based on the condition and evaluation of the returned device, the most probable root cause is failure to follow instructions since the problem was traced to the user not following the manufacturer instructions.A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed and confirmed that this device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.A labeling review was performed and from the information available, this device was not used per the directions for use (dfu)/product label that the trip wire was not properly secured in the handle slot, as indicated in the step 8.
