Manufacturer Narrative

Block e1: facility name: (b)(6).Block h6: imdrf device code a15 captures the reportable event of clip could not fully deployed.Block h10: investigation results: the returned resolution clip device was analyzed, and a visual evaluation noted that the device was returned without its over sheath.It was also noted that the clip assembly detached from the bushing but attached to the control wire, evidence of soft deploy.Microscopic examination was performed, and it was found that the capsule bottom part is damaged.No other problems with the device were noted.The reported event of clip unable to release from catheter was not confirmed.Investigation found that the clip had evidence of soft deployment since the clip was detached from the bushing but still attached to the control wire.Also, after a microscope analysis, it was found that the capsule had both sides lifted, consequently, the root cause of the clip assembly detachment.Most likely during unpacking of the device, the clip was hit against a hard surface causing the damage on the capsule, this possible hit, lifted the locking tab, which function was to attach the clip to the bushing, therefore, with this component lifted, there was not enough subjection between the clip and the bushing, causing the reported failure on the device.Additionally, the device returned without the over sheath, and since the customer stated that it was intentionally removed.Taking all available information into consideration, the most probable cause of this complaint is adverse event related to procedure because the adverse event occurred during the procedure.A product labeling review identified that the device was not used per the instructions for use (ifu)/product label as the customer removed the sheath during procedure, which is not describe in the instructions for use.
