Block h6: imdrf device code a0414 captures the reportable event of sheath torn.Block h11: investigation results: the returned stone cone was analyzed, and a visual evaluation noted that the coil was received in an open state.It was also noted that the blue sheath was broken exposing the white sheath.Functional examination was performed, and the coil was able to fully open and close even though the blue sheath was broken.A labeling review was performed and, there is no evidence that this device was not used in accordance with instructions for use.With all the available information, boston scientific concludes that the reported event was confirmed.Based on the investigation it is most likely that the damage was caused during the test of the device with the use of excessive force or manipulation.When force was exerted when trying to open/close the coil, the blue sheath broke.Additionally, the ifu states, if resistance is encountered while attempting to withdraw the coil do not exert excessive force.To release the object from the device, advance the sheath to straighten the coil and remove the device.Therefore, the most probable root cause of unintended use error caused or contributed to event was assigned to this investigation.
