Event Description

Manufacturer Narrative
|
A visual examination of the returned device revealed that the feeding tube was broken approximately at 2cm from the dome.It was noted that the condition of the returned unit was consistent with the reported event of feeding tube detached/separated.It is most likely that the cause of the separation was that excessive force was applied during placement, while pulling the tube through the incision.It is most likely that procedural or anatomical factors encountered during the procedure could have affected the device performance and its integrity.Based on the information available and the analysis performed, the most probable cause for the complaint will be documented as "operational context", probably due to anatomical/procedural factors encountered during the procedure, performance was limited.
