H10: internal complaint reference: (b)(4).H3, h6: ¿the reported device, used in treatment, was received for evaluation.There was no relationship found between the returned device and the reported incident.A visual inspection revealed the device was received outside of original packaging.The device was received with a monofilament already in the device.No physical damage visible.A functional evaluation revealed the monofilament could be passed through the handheld device as intended.The provided product identification information did not match any known release of this part and thus a manufacturing record review could not be conducted.A complaint history review concluded this was a repeat issue.The instructions for use was reviewed and found to include conditions of off label use and technique specifics, as well as precautions and warnings related to the use of the device.A review of risk management files found that the reported failure was documented appropriately.The complaint was not verified and the root cause could not be determined since the reported malfunction could not be duplicated during the product evaluation process.Please refer to the instructions for use for recommendations on proper use of the device and potential troubleshooting methods to prevent future reoccurrence of the reported event.No containment or corrective actions are recommended at this time.".
