H10: internal complaint reference (b)(4).H3, h6: the reported device was received for evaluation.A visual inspection of the returned device found that it is not in its original packaging.The two suture retrievers had the shaft/snare fractured away from the hub.A review of device records showed there were no indications to suggest that the product did not meet manufacturing specifications upon release for distribution.A complaint history review found similar reported events.A risk management review found that the reported failure and/or harm was documented appropriately, and there were no indications to suggest the anticipated risk is not adequate.A review of the device drawings found a stress relief collar is now attached at the connection between the shaft and the hub of the suture capture loop.The root cause was associated with device design.A design change was implemented as a result of a corrective action initiated to address the reported issue.No further containment or corrective actions are recommended at this time.
