Manufacturer Narrative

This supplemental report is being submitted to provide the device evaluation results.The referenced device was returned in the original packaging and the lot number was confirmed as mk715070.A visual inspection on the received condition found the basket was deployed and the distal end was detached from the handle.The two wires on the basked were broken in addition the core wire was detached approximately 2 inches from the blue rubber nosecone.Despite being detached from the distal end, the slider and lock functioned as intended.This damage is indicative of overloading.The basket may become snagged on a stent or on the scope itself, upon withdrawal external stress is placed on the core causing it to snap.During retraction the basket may become over tightened on the calculus/foreign body placing excessive stress on the individual wires leading to their fracture.The instruction manual for device provides cautions that states, "the surlok helical stone basket is a delicate precision instrument and must be handled with care".
