Investigation evaluation: a product evaluation was performed only by the video provided with this report because the products said to be involved were not provided to cook for evaluation.The lot number seen in the video does not match this report.The label in the video does however match the product reported.The complaint was not confirmed based on the video received.In the video it could be seen that the lot number of the products were w4454303, not from the lot reported w4453773 for this complaint.No other details can be determined from the video.The device history record for the lot number said to be involved was reviewed.A discrepancy or anomaly was not observed with the product that was released for distribution.Investigation conclusion: we could not conduct a complete investigation because the product said to be involved was not returned for evaluation.A definitive cause for the reported observation could not be determined.Inadequate storage conditions can contribute to the properties exhibited as described in the customer complaint.The instructions for use advise the user to: "store in a dry location, away from temperature extremes." prior to distribution, all 10 shooter saeed multi-band ligators are subjected to a visual inspection to ensure device integrity.A review of the device history record confirmed that the lot said to be involved met all manufacturing requirements prior to shipment.Corrective action: a review of the complaint history was conducted.The likelihood of occurrence is considered rare.Corrective action is currently being assessed and a follow up report will be sent.Quality assurance will continue to monitor for complaint trends and reassess the risk assessment results as post market feedback continues to become available.

Investigation evaluation: a product evaluation was performed by the video provided with this report.There were 10 unused products and 1 opened prior to use product returned to cook however at the time of investigation it was noted the product was expired.Therefore a functional test was not performed as the device function may be impacted by device expiry.A visual inspection of the 1 opened prior to use device found that 2 bands had been deployed from the barrel but they were not returned with the device.The lot number seen in the video does not match this report however the label in the video matches the product reported.The complaint was not confirmed from the video received as it could be seen that the lot number of the products in the video were from lot w4454303, not from the lot w4453773 reported for this complaint.No other details can be determined from the video.The device history record for the lot number said to be involved was reviewed.A discrepancy or anomaly was not observed with the product that was released for distribution.Investigation conclusion: we could not conduct a complete investigation because the product returned for evaluation expired prior to our ability to evaluate.A corrective action has been initiated to reduce occurrences of the mbl bands not tight enough to function appropriately.The product said to be involved is included in the scope of the corrective actions.Inadequate storage conditions can contribute to the properties exhibited as described in the customer complaint.The instructions for use advise the user to: "store in a dry location, away from temperature extremes." prior to distribution, all 10 shooter saeed multi-band ligators are subjected to a visual inspection to ensure device integrity.A review of the device history record confirmed that the lot said to be involved met all manufacturing requirements prior to shipment.Corrective action: a review of the complaint history was conducted.The likelihood of occurrence is considered rare.A corrective action has been initiated in an effort to reduce occurrences of this nature.This product was manufactured prior to implementation of this corrective action.Quality assurance will continue to monitor for complaint trends and reassess the risk assessment results as post market feedback continues to become available.
