Block h6: imdrf device code a040609 captures the reportable event of handle cannula bent.Block h10: the device was not returned for examination.However, the customer provided an image in which the handle cannula can be seen bent.Based on the event description and information provided by the customer, there is insufficient evidence to determine whether the handle cannula bent as a result of the physician's manipulation during preparation or as a result of a device malfunction.The most likely cause of the reported issue cannot be determined due to a lack of evidence and a proper evaluation of the device.Because the investigation findings do not provide a clear conclusion about the cause of the reported adverse event (handle cannula bent), cause not established is chosen as the most likely explanation for the complaint and this event.
