Per the physician, the cause of the reported mucosal tear is due to the helical retractor moving from the proper stowed position during device introduction.Endogastric solutions (egs) has requested the device for evaluation; however, the device is being held at the hospital and is currently unavailable for return to egs.Additionally, the dhr was reviewed, and the dhr was found to be in compliance and no related manufacturing nonconformities were identified.The physician is not alleging a product malfunction contributed to or caused the adverse event and the device was not returned to endogastric solutions (egs) for evaluation.The device was discarded at the medical facility by hospital staff and is unavailable for return to egs.Per the physician, the pulmonary embolism possibly occurred due to distant history of pulmonary embolism.Based on the available information received by egs, the cause of the reported mucosal, and perforation pulmonary embolism cannot be conclusively determined.It cannot be conclusively determined if the patients prior history of pulmonary embolism diagnosis, hhr procedure, tif procedure, or a combination contributed to or caused this adverse event.
