We received approximately 1-1/2 inches of fiber from the distal end of the probe wrapped in bubble wrap and affixed to a piece of cardboard.This packaging was inside the original, opened product pouch.The cannula and valve were present on the fiber.Visual examination under magnification shows residual surgical matter on the fiber and cannula.The tip of the fiber was no longer conical.The current state has the shape of an irregular, roughly spherical, ball.The diameter of fiber at the distal tip exceeds the od of the cannula.Accumulated debris on the end of the light probe resulted in the concentration of illumination energy exceeding the glass transition temperature of the fiber material.The sterilization and lot history records were reviewed and found to be acceptable.The trend analysis, risk analysis and/or directions for use review were considered acceptable, with the product performing within anticipated rates.No corrective action required.
