Event or Problem Description
A physician reported that actuation failure of the probe occurred during vitrectomy surgery.The condition of aspiration was unknown.The surgery was performed and completed after replacing the product with another one.There was no report of patient harm.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
One opened probe was received with a tip protector, in a pouch, for the report.The returned sample was visually inspected and found to be conforming.The sample was then functionally tested for actuation and cut and was found to be conforming for both functional tests.A review of the device history record traceable to the lot number obtained from the device¿s radio-frequency identification device tag indicates that the product was processed and released according to the product¿s acceptance criteria.The returned sample was found to be conforming, therefore an actuation failure as described in the complaint was not confirmed and a root cause cannot be determined for the complaint as described by the customer.No action was taken as the returned probe was manufactured to specification.All probes are 100% visually inspected and tested for actuation, aspiration and cut during manufacturing.Complaints are reviewed and monitored at regular intervals for any significant adverse trends.No adverse trends have been observed associated with the reported product and event.No further actions are required.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
