Block h6: device code 1454 captures the reportable event of the plastic cover on the distal tip of the device fell off.Block h10: visual inspection of the returned device found that the leading tip of the device was detached and not returned.A small amount of device that remained past the distal stop was missing the coating and scorching was evident on the exposed tip.The working length was also kinked and the coil was unable to be sheathed.Based on all available information, it is likely that the user fired upon the coil with a laser causing it to detach and had to remove the coating of the coil in order to remove the device.The direction for use (dfu) states "warning: to minimize risk of device breakage or patient injury, do not fire laser directly on any part of the stone cone coil.Warning: do not set holmium laser energy above.8 joules or power setting over 8 watts." therefore, the most probable root cause is failure to follow instructions.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.A labeling review was performed and, from the information available, this device was used per the instructions for use (ifu) / product label.
