Upon receipt of these flexiva fiber at our quality assurance laboratory, the returned device underwent a thorough analysis.It was found that the tip was degraded, which is expected for consumable devices, and the fiber connector was fractured.The connector may have developed a microfracture that with use or handling can become larger resulting in an insufficient aiming beam and low laser energy output, up to a complete inability for the fiber to fire.Based on the information available and analysis results, the fracture identified could have caused or contributed to the reported clinical observation of fiber stop working.
