Manufacturer Narrative

A visual examination of the returned uphold lite with capio slim revealed that the darts were not detached from either of the two sutures.Both darts were caught on the cage of the capio slim when actuated.However, the carrier exited the capio slim head slightly bent and then righted itself to the cage which would cause the carrier to stay on a misaligned trajectory during use while going through bodily tissue causing it to miss the cage.A review of the device history record (dhr) confirmed that the device met all material, assembly, and product specifications at the time of release to distribution.The investigation concluded that this complaint is associated with a product that meets the design and manufacture specifications but due to anatomical/procedural factors encountered during the procedure, performance of the device was limited.The most probable root cause classification is operational context.Based on the investigation finding that the neither dart had detached from its respective suture, this is no longer considered a reportable event.
