Investigation evaluation: a product evaluation was not performed in response to this report because the product said to be involved was not provided to cook for evaluation.The report could not be confirmed.The device history record for the lot number said to be involved was reviewed.A discrepancy or anomaly was not observed with the product that was released for distribution.Investigation conclusion: we could not conduct a complete investigation because the product said to be involved was not returned for evaluation.A definitive cause for the reported observation could not be determined.The instructions for use includes the following: "surgical intervention may be required if stone impaction and/or basket fragmentation occurs.If a stone cannot be removed endoscopically with this basket, the soehendra lithotriptor may be used with select memory soft wire baskets (see package label) to mechanically crush stone and aid in removal.Due to mechanical pressure generated with soehendra lithotriptor, basket fragmentation and/or stone impaction in common bile duct may occur and require surgical intervention.Risk of basket fragmentation or stone impaction must be weighed against potential benefit of using lithotriptor." prior to distribution, all memory soft wire baskets are subjected to a visual inspection and functional testing to ensure device integrity.A review of the device history record confirmed that the lot said to be involved met all manufacturing requirements prior to shipment.Corrective action: a review of the complaint history was conducted.The likelihood of occurrence is considered rare.Corrective action is not warranted at this time based on the quality engineering risk assessment.Quality assurance will continue to monitor for complaint trends and reassess the risk assessment results as post market feedback continues to become available.
