Block h6: medical device code a050702 captures the reportable event of polyp resecting problems.Block h10: one sensation snare was received for analysis.Visual analysis of the returned revealed that the device did not have any problems.Functional evaluation of the returned device found that when the device was connected to the 10 inch loop fixture, it contracted and extended well.Electric test was also performed and the device's electrical resistance was within specification.No other device problems were noted.The reported event of "loop failure to cut" could not be confirmed since the device cannot be functionally evaluated with respect to the anatomical/procedural factors encountered during the procedure.The product record review confirmed that this was not a new failure type and the risk was anticipated.There was no evidence of a manufacturing problem, design or user problem which could have caused the complaint.Device analysis found no problems with the device during visual, functional, and electric test.Based on the analysis of the returned device and the information available, the code selected as the most probable cause is no problem detected.This code was selected since the reported event could not be confirmed.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.
