Manufacturer Narrative

Out of box failures can result from many different product malfunctions, some less serious than others.If the malfunction occurring out of box would have been reportable had it occurred in the patient, then it should be reportable.This should be based on the actual failure mode or non-conformance.In this case the depth markers of the cannula provide a reference for correct positioning of the cannula.If the cannulas were used, potential for serious injury is not remote.The device was not returned for evaluation, as device request is ongoing.The investigation is still in progress; therefore, a conclusion has yet to be established.A supplemental report will be submitted accordingly upon investigation completion.
