Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H3 evaluation summary: medtronic conducted an investigation based upon all information received.The device was available for evaluation.Visual inspection noted the loading unit was pre-fired with the interlock engaged and the jaws were open.There were staples protruding from proximal staple cartridge channel.Functionally, the loading unit was loaded into a representative instrument.The interlock was overridden and the loading unit was applied to test media.All staples were placed and test media was cleanly transected.The loading unit interlock was tested and found to function properly.It was reported that the instrument did not fire.The reported issue was confirmed.The product analysis noted evidence that the device was not used as intended.This issue may occur if the instrument firing handle had been partially compressed and released after pressing the green firing button.In this situation, the safety interlock feature will engage and prevent the reload from firing a second time.The manufacturing records for each device are thoroughly reviewed prior to release to ensure that it meets all medtronic quality specifications.The instructions included with this device provide the following guidance: in order to fire the instrument, push the green button.Squeeze the handle sequentially until the oval clamp cover reaches the distal end of the cartridge slot, and the handle locks.Sequential squeezes of the handle are required to fully fire the loading unit.The total number of squeezes is relative to the length of the loading unit (30, 45 or 60).Failure to completely fire the loading unit will result in an incomplete cut and/or incomplete staple formation, which may result in poor hemostasis.Medtronic is submitting this report to comply with fda reporting regulations under 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.This report is based upon information obtained by medtronic, which the company may not have been able to fully investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by the fda.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to obtain more complete information and has provided as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.In particular, this report does not constitute an admission by anyone that the product described in this report has any ¿defects¿ or has ¿malfunctioned¿.These words are included in the fda 3500a form and are fixed items for selection created by the fda to categorize the type of event solely for the purpose of regulatory reporting.Medtronic objects to the use of these words and others like them because of the lack of definition and the connotations implied by these terms.This statement should be included with any information or report disclosed to the public under the freedom of information act.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
