Blocks d4 and h4 have been updated with additional information received on october 21, 2020 regarding the lot of the returned device.Block h6 (device codes): the problem code 1069 captures the reportable event of cutting wire broken.Block h10: the returned truetome jag 44 was analyzed, and a visual evaluation noted that cutting wire was detached and bent.The device was observed under magnification and the cutting wire was blackened and the cut of the cutting wire was not smooth.A functional evaluation was not performed due to the condition of the device.No other issues with the device were noted.The reported complaint was confirmed.Upon analysis, it was found that the cutting wire was detached, bent and blackened.The cutting wire being blackened indicates that the device was energized.Based on the condition of the device, the break in the cutting wire could have been generated if there was not constant contact with the tissue when electrocautery current was applied or if voltage exceeded the maximum voltage rating.Based on all gathered information, the most probable root cause of this complaint is adverse event related to procedure.A review of the manufacturing documentation for this device revealed that no anomalies or deviations related to the event occurred during manufacturing.A labeling review was performed and, from the information available, this device was used per the instructions for use (ifu) / product label.Block h11: block d4 (catalog number) was corrected from 47405 to 8314.
