Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Correction: upon receiving additional information from the customer regarding the failure mode, this event is not reportable.It was previously thought the wire guides that sheared were the cook wire guides provided in the set, but the customer confirmed the wire guides used were not those provided in the set.Additionally, the customer returned only two split dilators.No wire guides were returned.Therefore, it cannot be confirmed that the wire guides in this event are cook wire guides.A review of risk documentation does not indicate that the failure "split dilator" is likely to cause serious injury if it were to reoccur.As there are no recorded incidences of serious injury due to the complaint event, and it is not likely that serious injury would result if the event were to recur, per 21cfr part 803.50 the complaint event is considered not reportable.This report includes information known at this time.A follow up report will be submitted should additional relevant information become available.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803.This report is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement made in it is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned; that a death or serious injury occurred; or that any cook device caused or contributed to; or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
