Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was not retained for evaluation.We strongly suspect, following a review of the procedure fluro video, that the biopsy forceps jaws used by the health professional were opened inside the lungvision tool sheath before emerging from the sheath distal tip, which harmed and damaged the sheath inner liner.Because the forceps damaged the inner liner of the sheath, this contributed to the device malfunction and event.
