(b)(4).Corrected sections: h6 - changed problem code to only 2907.The device was returned to the factory for evaluation on 05/16/2022.Photographs were provided by the account.A photographic inspection was conducted.Signs of clinical use and evidence of blood was observed.There were two anchor's observed in the photograph.One anchor was observed attached to a completely unraveled seal that had blood on it.The other anchor was observed to be detached from a seal.There were no tension spring assemblies observed in the photograph.A visual inspection was conducted.The delivery device was returned inside the loading device with the white plunger fully depressed and the blue safety lock off which allows for the white plunger to be depressed.The anchor of the seal was returned outside the device.The delivery device was removed from the loading device with no physical or visual difficulties.Signs of clinical use and evidence of blood was observed on the delivery device which indicates an attempt was made to introduce the device into the aorta.No measurements of the delivery device were taken due to the presence of blood.Only the anchor was returned for evaluation.The anchor was observed to be intact, no visual defects were observed.The end of the string was observed to be cut.Blood was observed on the tail of the anchor.Based on the photographic inspection as well as the investigation results, the reported failure "missing component/detachment of device or device component" was confirmed, however we are unable to determine when the failure occurred.The lot # 25160840 history record review was completed.There were no ncmrs, rework, or deviations documented for the reported lot number.Based on the dhr/lhr review results, it was determined that there is no relation between the batch manufacturing process and the reported failure.
