(b)(4).This is a reusable oem device; therefore, a lot history review was not applicable.A lot number /serial number was not provided and the specific product lot number cannot be identified from a ship history, therefore it is impossible to obtain a certificate of conformance the device was returned to the factory for evaluation.A visual inspection was conducted.The device showed no signs of clinical usage and no evidence of blood.The cord was broken at the jacket/collar of the 4 pin connector.The detached jacket/collar was not returned.The device was evaluated for connector function.The cable was able to provide a secure connection that connected and disconnected without incident.An electrical evaluation was performed.A pre-cautery test was performed per the instruction for use (ifu) with a reference hemopro 2 , reference adapter cable and reference power supply vh-3010 at level 3.0.The device passed the pre-cautery test; it produced steam and heat during 5-second activations and shut off when the toggle was released.A polyfuse electrical test was performed with the same reference power supply, adapter cable and hemopro 2; the polyfuse successfully shut off power to the heater after prolonged periods of time and activated after the device cooled.Based upon the evaluation results, the reported complaint was not able to be confirmed for the reported failure mode "failure to deliver energy/ intermittent energy" but was confirmed for as analyzed failure mode "break-cord".
