Block b3: the exact date of the event is unknown.The provided event date was chosen as a best estimate based on the date that the manufacturer became aware of the event.Block h6: imdrf device problem codes a0406 and a040609 capture the reportable investigation result of side car rx push back and handle cannula bent/kinked.Block h10: the returned trapezoid rx retrieval basket was analyzed, and a visual inspection noted that the handle cannula was kinked, and the side car rx was pushed back.A dimensional test was performed and confirmed that the side car rx was pushed back 1.0 mm, which is out of specification.The reported complaint is confirmed.Based on all available information, the handle cannula may have kinked due to excess force applied when using the device's handle.Due to this issue, the basket is unable to open.In addition, the side car-rx was pushed back suggesting extra manipulation due to the technique used or patient's anatomical conditions.Therefore, the most probable root cause for the events found during analysis is adverse event related to procedure.A labeling review was performed and, from the information available, this device was used per the instructions for use (ifu) / product label.
