Device analysis: the retention plug and cam lock were each detached and not returned.The slider of the injector was not in the start position and was partially advanced.The needle was partially retracted, and the bevel was in the center position.A visual evaluation of the xen injector was performed.No damage/ defects were observed.To evaluate device functionality, the injector was tested for actuation.The slider knob was able to slide the full distance of the travel length in each of the three bevel selector positions.Functional testing showed that the pusher rod which pushes the gel stent out of the needle performed correctly, and the needle moved in tandem with the slider knob.The needle was fully extended as the slider knob was at the start position, and the needle retracted properly as the slider knob was advanced to the end of the travel distance.The gel stent deployed from the needle during functionality testing.Resistance was not observed.Clicks were heard.The reported complaint of blocked slider is not confirmed since the slider knob was able to slide the full distance of the travel length of each of the three bevel selector positions and since resistance was not observed during functional testing.The gel stent was able to be deployed from the needle during functionality testing.A review of the device history record has been completed.No deviations or non-conformances noted.The event is a known potential adverse event addressed in the product labeling.
