Block b3: approximated based on the date the manufacturer became aware of the event.Block d4, h4: the complainant was unable to provide the suspect device lot number; therefore, the expiration and device manufacture dates are unknown.Block e1: initial reporter city is (b)(6).Block h6: device code a0401 was used to capture the reportable event of distal section of sheath break.Block h10: the returned stone cone was analyzed, and a visual analysis found the coil was detached at the distal end.The detached coil was not returned.There were burn marks and signs of laser damage at/near the spot where the coil was detached.The reported event was confirmed.The instructions for use (ifu) warns the user "do not fire upon the device with a laser." however, the analyzed device provides clear evidence that it was fired upon by the laser.Based on all available information, the most probable root cause is unintended use error, indicating that interaction between the user and the device caused or contributed to the error.A review of the manufacturing documentation for this device revealed that no anomalies or deviations related to the event occurred during manufacturing.A labeling review was performed and, from the information available, this device was used per the instructions for use (ifu) / product label.
