Correction: d4 udi number.Correction: investigation conclusions: changed 4307 and 192 corrected to 4315.Additional information: the product sample was sent to the vendor for evaluation.The probe was functionally tested and failed the cutting test.There was no apparent actuation of the cutter.The inner diaphragm and associated parts were inspected for possible damage of blockage that could contribute to the lack of actuation of the cutter.Ultimately all the parts were without damage and there was no blockage.The cutter was able to actuate normally upon reassembly.It is unknown what was causing the friction in the cutter that prevented it from moving.The root cause could not be determined.This investigation is complete.
