H10: internal complaint reference: (b)(4).H3, h6: the reported device was not returned to the designated complaint unit for independent evaluation.However, an evaluation of the customer provided images was performed and found the device with tape surrounding the tip.The upper part of the clamp is off the device and not shown in the picture.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 no 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.The root cause of the reported event could not be determined since findings cannot lead to a clear cause of the reported event.Factors that could have contributed to the reported event include excessive force on the device, attempted correction of a damaged device or an inadvertent impact event inconsistent with normal use.No containment or corrective actions are recommended at this time.
