Manufacturer Narrative

The device, used in treatment, was not returned for evaluation, therefore the failure could not be confirmed.The clinical/medical team concluded, based on the documentation provided, the root cause of the trial disassociation could not be definitively concluded.The patient impact beyond the reported events could not be determined, as it was communicated that the procedure was completed with the same trials without impact or delay.No further medical assessment can be rendered at this time.Should additional clinical documentation become available in the future, the clinical/medical task may be re-evaluated.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the products failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Possible causes could include but not limited to traumatic injury, surgical technique or size of device.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation warranted for this complaint; however we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
