Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned for analysis.The reported loose or intermittent connection was unable to be confirmed.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.As the reported difficulties were unable to be confirmed during return analysis, the investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that the device was not fully connected/tightened resulting in the reported difficulties.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling of the device.
