H10: manufacturing review: the device history records have been reviewed and this lot met all release criteria.There was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.Investigation summary: one monopty disposable core biopsy instrument was returned for evaluation.During visual evaluation, the device appeared to have residue and the device returned in their initial positions.Upon functional testing, the device was functionally tested by twisting the rotational knob once and the cannula retracted and locked into place.The rotational knob was turned once more, and the stylet retracted inside the cannula.The device was able to be fully primed and the arrow was visible in the ready window.The device was functionally tested by cocking and firing the device 20 times into a chicken breast for a total of 20 tests.The device was able to prime and fire, however it was noted when the rotational knob was turned to prime the stylet that the cannula fired, and the stylet was primed within the cannula.Upon inspection, deformation noted in the cannula hub.Therefore, the investigation is confirmed for the identified self-activation, as the device self-activated when priming.However, the investigation is inconclusive for the reported failure to fire, as the identified issue may contribute to the reported failure to fire issue.Per the evaluation results, the identified short shot in the locking tangs of the stylet hub contributed to the identified self activation issue, as this prevents the hub from locking.However, the definitive root cause for the reported failure to fire could not be determined based upon available information.Labeling review: a review of product labeling documentation (e.G., procedural instructions, indications, warnings, precautions, cautions, possible complications, contraindications, nursing guide, and unit label) did not find any product labeling inadequacy.H10: d4 (expiry date: 10/2023), g3, h6 (method).H11: h6 (result, conclusion).H11:section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.H3 other text : see h10.
