H3, h6: the reported device was received for evaluation.A visual inspection revealed that it is not in its original packaging.The insertion device was returned with the suture but no anchor.There is biological debris on the returned items.Based on the condition of the product material found during visual inspection, additional material testing is not required.A review of device records showed there were no indications to suggest that the product did not meet manufacturing specifications upon release for distribution.A complaint history review found similar reported events.A risk management review found that the reported failure and/or harm was documented appropriately, and there were no indications to suggest the anticipated risk is not adequate.A review of the material specifications found that the storage requirements for the material are specified, and the material must comply with provided percentage composition specifications as measured by ash test.The root cause could not be determined since the reported malfunction could not be duplicated during the investigation.Factors that can contribute to the reported event include excessive force on the device, excessive torque on the device, attempted correction of a damaged device, off-axis insertion, improper preparation of the insertion site, or an inadvertent impact event inconsistent with normal use.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.H11: h2: corrected information d2.
