Manufacturer Narrative

As reported, while deploying the ventralight st w/ echo 2 down a 10mm trocar with the ps frame rolled towards the outside the ps frame detached.A visual examination of the sample was performed finding there is a significant tear in the middle potion of the mesh and the ps is no longer attached.The ps was not returned with the sample.Based on the sample condition and information provided the ps frame detaching when being deployed through the trocar is the result of forces applied while inserting the mesh with the ps frame rolled outward, not inward as prescribed in the ifu.The frame detaching in use with forces applied resulted in the mesh tearing.Per the ifu " start at the bottom and roll the device tightly with the polypropylene side on the outside and bioresorbable barrier and echo 2¿ positioning system frame on the inside.Follow the nitinol frame outward as the mesh is rolled.Take care not to let the hoisting suture become rolled up with the mesh." note: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.H3 other text : sample evaluated.
