Manufacturer Narrative

A visual examination of the returned uphold lite with capio slim revealed that the capio slim head was separated at the proximal end most likely caused by torqueing the device during use.All rivets were attached.During analysis, the capio head was opened to examine the carrier.There was heavy debris inside the capio head.The carrier was not broken.Analysis revealed no damage to the uphold lite mesh assembly.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.A labeling review was performed and, from the information available, this device was used per the directions for use (dfu)/product label.
