Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The associated device, used in treatment, was returned and evaluated.A visual inspection of the returned device could not confirm the stated failure mode.The device has signs of damage from attempted use.The device was manufactured in 2020.The clinical / medical investigation concluded that, this case reports that insert did not seat fully onto the baseplate and became damaged after repeated attempts.Per email communication, there was no harm to the patient, and the procedure was completed using a backup of a different size.There was a delay of less than 30-minutes.Since no patient harm is alleged, no further clinical assessment is warranted.A dimensional inspection was attempted but the device was too damaged from the attempted insertion to obtain accurate measurements.A complaint history review found related failures; this failure mode will be monitored for future complaints and assessed for any necessary corrective actions.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 and instructions for use documents revealed this failure mode was previously identified.Some potential probable causes for this event could include a fit/sizing issue or a procedural error.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 for future complaints and investigate as necessary.
