Manufacturer Narrative

As reported, the x-large 3dmax mesh ripped during insertion through a 12 mm laparoscopic port.The subject device was returned for evaluation.Initial evaluation finds multiple visible frays/tearing in the edge seal of the mesh.No manufacturing anomalies were found.Per the instructions for use (ifu), "the size of the extra-large bard 3dmax mesh may inhibit deployment through a trocar.Use an appropriate sized trocar to allow mesh to slide down the trocar with minimal force.If mesh will not easily deploy down the trocar, remove trocar and insert mesh through incision.Reinsert trocar." based on the sample evaluation and investigation performed, the root cause is determined to be user/device interface while deploying the x-large mesh down the 12mm trocar.Review of manufacturing records confirms product was manufactured to specification, with no indication of a manufacturing related cause for the event reported.To date, this is the only reported complaint for this manufacturing lot of (b)(4) units released for distribution in june, 2021.
