Manufacturer Narrative
|
The user facility returned (to (b)(4) facility) the referenced instaclear sheath.A provisional evaluation observed the post at the end of the distal tip was broken.A visual inspection found that the pin that serves as a stopper to prevent the scope from sticking out at the tip of the sheath was removed.Since there were traces of laser welding on the part where the stopper pin was attached and the peripheral part was slightly deformed, it would suggest that the pin was attached at the time of shipping, but it was strongly pushed when inserting the scope etc.It is probable that the pin has come off due to the overload of force.The investigation is ongoing.If additional information becomes available, this report will be supplemented accordingly.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device will not be returned to the manufacturer.A replacement device has been provided to the (japan) customer.In addition, the manufacturer was unable to conduct a review of the device history records (dhr) due to no available lot number.However, based on the investigations the potential cause of the reported pin coming off was due to overload from stress/force.
