A complete manufacturing and material records review for the device has been performed.The results confirmed that the device satisfied all material, visual and performance standards required at the time of manufacture and release.Since the device was already discarded by the site, no further investigation is possible at this time.Based on the information available, it is not possible to establish a definitive root cause for the reported event.However, per the document review performed, no manufacturing deficiencies were identified.Given that the reported dehiscence is related to a detachment of the sutures rather than a detachment of the fabric, a structural failure of the prosthesis is unlikely based on the information provided.Ultimately, given that no further investigation was possible and limited information on the event was provided, the root cause remains unknown at this time.
