The complainant was unable to report the lot number; therefore the manufacture date and expiration date are unknown.(b)(4).A visual assessment was performed.Only the detached working channel sleeve (wcs) was returned, and appears stretched.The reported complaint of device entrapment of device or device component was confirmed, and specifically analyzed as spyscope detached/separated to address the detached working channel sleeve.It is possible that operational factors, such as user technique/handling, patient anatomy, and accessory use, contributed to the reported complaint, however it is unknown what caused the wcs component to detach from the spyscope ds device.Based on all gathered information, the complaint investigation conclusion code selected is cause not established, which indicates that the investigation findings do not lead to a clear conclusion about the cause of the reported adverse event.A manufacturing batch record review was unable to be performed as the lot number is unknown.However, a ship history review was performed to identify the most probable lots, and a dhr (device history record) review on the most probable lots did not identify any deviations in the manufacturing processes that could have contributed to the event.
