Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information received as follows: the device was in contact with patient and the blue plastic part of the hook cev229a melted and made filaments in the patient's stomach.The surgeon had to remove them manually.The event led to increased surgery time of 30 minutes; however no patient injury occurred.Device history record: dhr was reviewed and no anomalies that could be associated with the complaint were observed.The hook cev229a was returned for evaluation: failure analysis - the coating is damaged near the hook and seems to be melted.The metal part became black.No event has been registered concerning coating process during the manufacturing of the hook.Root cause - this reported event is probably due to the use of a too important voltage or a prolonged activation of the device.
