Device functioned normally as the physician followed the prompts on the screen and device was inserted into the patient.The pre-treatment sequence advanced normally and treatment intiated.Almost immediately, the lcd screen displayed error code 379.Device was removed from the patient and set aside for further investigation.The procedure was ended and the patient did not receive treatment.Based on evaluation of the returned device, the root cause for the malfunction was tearing in the silicone pressure sleeve during manufacturing.Process updates have since been implemented to help prevent this failure mode.
