Lumenis received notice from the fda on 28-feb-2020 that this mdr had originally been submitted on 19-jul-2017 as a supplemental report with no initial record in the system.At the request of the fda this report is being resubmitted to correct that error.Additional manufacturer narrative: a review of the subject device history records (dhr) determined that the subject device was manufactured, tested, and found to have met all lumenis specifications prior to release of sale.Subject device was not returned to the manufacturer for further investigation, determination of cause could not be determined.An investigation of the reported event found that the reported malfunction of the slimline 365, fiber was similar to a device malfunction that was alleged to have caused or contributed to a potentially harmful situation.Because the company is aware that this malfunction was alleged to have caused or continued to a serious injury (reference mdr #3004135191-2017-00002) this event represents a reportable malfunction.Although the doctor was able to remove the broken fiber fragments from within the patient with no patient harm having been reported, this event still represents a reportable malfunction.Corrections: method code was initially selected in this initial mdr.As the code has since been made invalid, (device not returned) had been selected instead.Conclusion code was initially selected in this initial mdr.As the code has since been made invalid code (cause not established) had been selected instead.
