All available information was investigated, and the reported material separation (actuator knob) was determined to be a normal function of the device.Additionally, the actuator mandrel was observed to by kinked.A review of the lot history record revealed no manufacturing non-conformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no similar complaints reported from this lot.Based on available information, the reported material separation (actuator knob) associated with the actuator knob coming out of the dc handle is a normal function of the device, so was due to user perception of device function.The observed deformation due to compressive stress associated with the kinked actuator mandrel appears to be due to post-procedural device handling/ shipping (device returned with actuator knob assembly out of the dc handle).There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.

This is filed to report the actuator knob detaching from the clip delivery system during deployment.It was reported that a mitraclip procedure was performed to treat functional mitral regurgitation (mr) grade 4.During deployment of the clip, the actuator knob came out of the clip delivery system (cds).The clip was successfully released, reducing mr to a grade of 1-2.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
