Manufacturer Narrative

Block h6: medical device code a15 captures the reportable event of clip unable to release from catheter.Block h10: investigation results: the returned resolution clip device was analyzed, and a visual evaluation noted that the device was returned with the clip assembly attached.The device was returned without the over-sheath.Microscopic examination was performed, and it was found that the clip had one arm activated.Functional evaluation was performed, and the clip assembly was able to perform the second activation and could be released from the catheter without problem.No other problems with the device were noted.The reported event of clip unable to release from catheter was not confirmed as the device was returned with the clip assembly still attached and the clip was able to release from the catheter without problems.It is possible that operational factors, such as a high axial asymmetric load applied to only one side of the clip could have caused the found problem of clip arm being activated.No problems were found that could have reduced the performance of the device during the procedure.The returned device review showed no evidence of either the alleged(s) or any defect which could have contributed to the event.Therefore, the most probable root cause for this complaint is no problem detected.A review of the manufacturing documentation for this device revealed that no anomalies or deviations related to the event occurred during manufacturing.
