A2: patient's exact age is unknown; however it was reported that the patient was over the age of 18.H6: problem code 1069 captures the reportable event of handle breaks.H10: the trapezoid basket was received cut.The cut ends of the pull wire was inspected under magnification and revealed marks that indicate a sharp tool was used to cut the device.Additionally, the handle was found not broken.However, the handle cannula was found to have been pulled out of the finger ring portion of the handle assembly and was separated from the handle since the device was cut.The dimples were visible on the handle cannula.Drag marks were present from the proximal and distal screw toward the proximal end of the cannula as the cannula has been forcibly pulled out from the set screws.Also the working length was kinked in several locations.It is most likely that during procedure the device could have been excessively manipulated by the user, or affected by the interaction with the scope or with other devices.The attempts performed to crush the stones, actuating the device or the force applied to the device during its use could have affected its integrity.The damages (working length kinked and handle cannula pulled out of the finger ring) are issues consistent with ones caused when excess of force was applied to the product during its handling; other factors like patient anatomy can also affect the functionality of the product.Therefore, the most probable cause is "adverse event related to patient condition".A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed and confirmed that this device met all material, assembly, and performance specifications at the time of release for distribution.
