Upon receipt of this fiber at our quality assurance laboratory, this device was thoroughly analyzed.A visual examination was performed and found that the fiber body near the connector was melted.It is likely procedural conditions, such as physician technique, size and composition of the material being ablated, may have caused the fiber to overheat at the connector that may lead to fiber jacket to heat up and melt, leading to the reported event.The reported complaint was confirmed.Based on review of all information available and analysis results, a conclusion code of cause traced to component failure was assigned to this investigation.
