Manufacturer Narrative

Block h6: imdrf device code a0501 captures the reportable event of delivery system tip detachment of device or device component.Block h10: upon receipt at our quality assurance laboratory, this solyx sis system underwent a thorough analysis.The device was visually examined and found that the one of the mesh carrier darts was detached from the mesh.The mesh was also stretched.A review of the device history record (dhr) indicated that the device met all material, assembly, and product specifications at the time of release to distribution.Based on the information available and analysis results, the reported allegation of delivery system tip detachment of device or device component was confirmed.Based on the information available and analysis results, it is likely that procedural conditions, such as user handling technique during/after placement of a mesh carrier dart, resulted in excessive force with the delivery device and mesh carrier causing the dart to detach and the mesh to become stretched.A conclusion code of adverse event related to procedure was assigned to this investigation.
