Device evaluation: the spectra cylinders were visually and functionally tested.Both cylinders had sharp instrument/tool damage to the outer tube, which resulted in a hole and exposed metal segments.Both cylinders passed the bend test with a force readout of less than 1390 grams.Product analysis was unable to confirm the reported events as sharp instrument was identified.The product record review indicated reported events do not represent an unanticipated event.Review of the manufacturing documentation confirmed all required in-process and final inspections and testing were completed.Based on this investigation, the investigation conclusion code of "unintended use error caused or contributed to event" was chosen because the physician made an unintentional error that caused the event.Based on the results of this investigation, no escalation is required.Review of manufacturing documentation was performed to ensure that all required in-process and final inspections and testing were completed.Review of the manufacturing records found no evidence that the device failed to meet applicable product specifications prior to shipment from boston scientific.
