Manufacturer Narrative

Block h6: device code 1069 captures the reportable event of wires broke.Block h10: the returned trapezoid rx lithotripter basket was analyzed, and a visual evaluation found that the basket was extended and it did not have any broken wires.The working length was bent in several locations at the distal section of the device.Additionally, the handle cannula was found pulled out of the finger ring portion of the handle assembly.Both of the dimples from the screws were visible at the proximal section of the handle cannula and drag marks were present from dimples towards the proximal end as the cannula had been forcibly pulled out from the set screws.The depth of the set screws were measured and found to be within specifications.A functional evaluation was not performed due to the device condition.It is possible that anatomical or procedural factors encountered during the procedure, such as manipulation during the procedure or the device encountering too much force, could have resulted in the handle cannula separating and the working length being bent.Therefore, the most probable root cause for the failures found during analysis is adverse event related to procedure.However, the reported failure of the basket wire being broken was not confirmed during the analysis.Therefore, the root cause for the reported failure is no problem detected.A review of the manufacturing documentation for this device revealed that no anomalies or deviations related to the event occurred during manufacturing.Block h11: correction: d4 (model number), d10 (device avail for evaluation?).
