Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4) captures the reportable event of mesh torn.An examination of the returned device found that on one side of the mesh, the mesh is stretched and torn/split down the middle.Its corresponding leader loop was not cut, indicating that the mesh separated/tore away from the leader loop.There are tool marks on the blue dilator.No damage was noted to the delivery device.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.It is likely that operational factors, such as user handling/technique, device tensioning/adjustment, and patient anatomy, contributed to the reported complaint.The tool marks on the dilator also suggest that excessive force was encountered.Therefore, the most probable cause for this complaint is adverse event related to procedure, which indicates that the adverse event occurred during the procedure and the device had no influence on the event.
