Investigation evaluation: a product evaluation was performed only by the pictures provided in response to this report because the product said to be involved was not provided to cook for evaluation.Per the photo provided we can see that the basket is broken and the metal tip is still attached to one of the 4 wires.Without the product or substantial evidence to contradict the complaint, it is considered confirmed based solely on the photos and statements describing the event.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: our evaluation of the photos provided confirmed basket wire breakage.However, 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.Prior to distribution, all fusion lithotripsy extraction baskets are subjected to a visual inspection and functional testing 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 not warranted at this time based on the quality engineering risk assessment.Quality assurance will continue to monitor for complaint trends and reassess the risk assessment results as post market feedback continues to become available.
