Block e1: initial reporter fax: (b)(6).Block h6: imdrf device code a0406 captures the reportable investigation results of side car rx push back.Block h10: the returned trapezoid rx device was analyzed, and a visual evaluation observed that the side car rx was pushed back.A dimensional test was performed and confirmed that the side car was pushed back 2.5 mm, which is out of specification.A functional test noted that the basket was able to open and close properly.The reported event of basket failure to close was not confirmed.Based on the available information, the basket did not have any problems opening and closing.However, the side car rx was pushed back which often triggers other problems during use.This problem could have occurred due to excessive manipulation when trying to operate the basket, technique used, or the patient's anatomical conditions.Therefore, the most probable root cause for the issue found during analysis is "adverse event related to procedure".
