Additional information: g3, h3, h6 h3 evaluation summary: medtronic conducted an investigation based upon all information received.The device and a photo were available for evaluation.Visual inspection noted the device was cut with little or no stretch deformation along the cutline.There was proper welding at the distal end.It was reported that the bag was torn at the seam or had a hole and the specimen fell out of the retrieval bag.The reported issues were confirmed.The product analysis noted evidence that the device was not used as intended.The issue can occur if removal of specimen pouch was attempted through an inadequately sized removal site; there will be pressure exerted on the specimen pouch, usually in the distal end, where there will be stretching and deforming of the specimen pouch until it subsequently rips under tension.The manufacturing records for each device are thoroughly reviewed prior to release to ensure that it meets all medtronic quality specifications.The instructions included with this device provide the following guidance: ensure that the metal ring is retracted completely into the instrument prior to removal through the trocar sleeve.Do not attempt to pull pouch through the trocar sleeve or shaft of instrument.Medtronic is submitting this report to comply with fda reporting regulations under 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.This report is based upon information obtained by medtronic, which the company may not have been able to fully investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by the fda.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to obtain more complete information and has provided as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.In particular, this report does not constitute an admission by anyone that the product described in this report has any ¿defects¿ or has ¿malfunctioned¿.These words are included in the fda 3500a form and are fixed items for selection created by the fda to categorize the type of event solely for the purpose of regulatory reporting.Medtronic objects to the use of these words and others like them because of the lack of definition and the connotations implied by these terms.This statement should be included with any information or report disclosed to the public under the freedom of information act.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
