Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The manufacturer has identified that this event should be re-evaluated for mdr reporting.The detached component is of a size/shape that can be easily retrieved in its entirety and this malfunction has been resolved by using an available back-up device.Although this event may result in a short delay while the procedure is resumed and completed as intended, this malfunction has not caused or contributed, in the past, to a death or serious injury, nor has it been required a medical intervention to preclude permanent impairment of a body function or permanent damage to a body structure.This malfunction is unlikely to cause any death or serious injury if it were to recur, either.Therefore, this event is considered non-reportable pursuant to 21 c.F.R.§803.If further details are provided confirming the occurrence of a reportable event, our files will be updated accordingly, and a further report submitted outlining both the event details and our investigations performed.
