The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported difficulties; however, the subsequent unexpected medical intervention appears to be related to the operational context of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling; therefore, no product-related corrective action will be implemented in this case.H6- health effect - clinical code 2687 was removed and replaced with code 4582; health effect - impact code 4614 was removed and replaced with code 4641.
