H3, h6: the associated device was returned and evaluated.The contribution of the device to the reported event could not be corroborated.A visual inspection of the returned device could not confirm the stated failure mode.The device has signs of damage from attempted use.A dimensional inspection was attempted, but the device was too damaged from the attempted insertion to obtain accurate measurements.A review of complaint history did not reveal similar events for the listed device.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.At this time, we do not have reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A review of the risk management file revealed this failure mode was previously identified.The anticipated risk level is still adequate.Some potential probable causes for this event could include a fit/ sizing issue or poor insertion technique.Assessment of historical escalated cases concluded that there are no prior actions related to this product and failure mode.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
