Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Corrected information: b1, h1 = additional information was received from the customer on (b)(6) 2024, stating that the device did not separate.Upon return and evaluation of the complaint device, the wire was not unraveled or separated, but was kinked.Per a search of risk documentation and previous complaint data, there is no evidence to suggest that this device failure would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or a serious injury if the failure were to recur.Furthermore, there is no evidence that the device caused or contributed to a serious injury, as no life-threatening or permanently impairing injury was alleged, nor was intervention taken as a result of the device failure which would be required to prevent permanent impairment or damage to the patient.As such, the event is not reportable under fda 21 cfr part 803 as it does not meet the criteria for a death, serious injury, or reportable product malfunction.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803.This report is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement made in it is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned; that a death or serious injury occurred; or that any cook device caused or contributed to; or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
