Manufacturer Narrative

Block h6: imdrf device code a0501 captures the reportable event of brush detached.Block h10: investigation results an rx cytology brush was received for analysis, and a visual inspection of the returned device revealed the handle and working length were kinked.No other problems were noted the reported event of brush detached was not confirmed because the results of the analysis performed showed that the brush was in good condition.Most likely, procedural factors such as the handling of the device and the technique used by the physician during initial use, set-up, or shortly thereafter could have affected its condition and caused the handle and the working length to kink.Based on the information available and the returned device analysis, the most probable root cause for the reported complaint is no problem detected and the most probable root cause for the failures found during analysis (working length - bent/kinked) and (handle - bent/kinked) is adverse event related to procedure.
