Block e1: initial reporter state is fukuoka prefecture.Block h6: medical device problem code a0501 captures the reportable event of cautery pin detached.Block h10 investigation results: one captivator snare was received for analysis.Visual analysis of the returned device found no device problems.Dimensional test was also performed and the 2 in 1 was compared with the active cord gauge and it was out of the expected measurement.The reported event of "cautery pin detached" could not be confirmed since the cautery pins were not detached upon device analysis.The reported event of "device interaction with another device" was confirmed since upon product analysis, it was observed that two in one connector (cautery pin) was smaller (od) than expected.For this reason, the user encountered connection problems.However, the manufacturing process have quality control processes to confirm the correct size of the 2 in 1 connector during the manufacturing process.So, it's unknown if the device was damaged during preparation or during any other moment.Based on the analysis of the returned device and the information available, the most probable cause of the reported event is cause not established since it cannot be established due to lack of evidence.A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed and confirmed that this device met all material, assembly and performance specifications at the time of release for distribution.
