Device evaluation 01 x dt-6-5f device of lot c2019716 was returned to cirl opened in its original packaging.With the information provided, a physical and document based investigation was carried out.Lab evaluation lab evaluation date: 17august/2023.Visual inspection: banding ligator component, snare and handle also returned.Trigger cord wire returned tangled up in handle, no bands present on ligator.No visual defects observed.Document review prior to distribution all dt-6-5f devices are subject to visual a visual inspection and functional checks to ensure device integrity.These inspections and functional checks are outlined in internal procedures in place at cirl a review of the relevant manufacturing records for lot c2019716 did not reveal any discrepancies that could have contributed to the complaint issue.The failure has not previously occurred with lot c2019716.Based on the information to date, there are no manufacturing issues associated with lot c2019716.It should be noted that the instructions for use (ifu0026) states the following: ¿if an abnormality is detected that would prohibit proper working condition, do not use.¿ system preparation section: "with the endoscope tip straight, place the trigger cord into the slot on the spool of the multi-band ligator handle (gig.7a) and pull down until the knot is seated in the hole of the slot (fig.7b).Note: the knot must be seated into the hole or the handle will not function properly." "with the multi-band ligator handle in the two-way position, slowly rotate the handle clockwise to wind the trigger cord onto the handle spool until it is taut (fig.8).Note: care must be taken to avoid deploying a band while winding the trigger cord." there is no evidence to suggest that the user did not follow the instructions for use.Image review an image was not returned for evaluation.Root cause review a definitive root cause could not be determined from the available information.A possible root cause may be attributed to the trigger cord which may not have been wound round the handle spool tightly enough and may have gotten caught up in a band when being deployed.Confirmation of complaint the complaint is confirmed based on customer and/or rep testimony.Summary the complaint is confirmed based on customer and/or rep testimony.Failure identified: does not allow for smooth movement - 01 device, confirmed used.A definitive root cause could not be determined from the available information.A possible root cause may be attributed to the trigger cord which may not have been wound round the handle spool tightly enough and may have gotten caught up in a band when being deployed.According to the initial reporter, there were no adverse effects reported.Complaints of this nature will continue to be monitored for potential emerging trends.
