The returned device was evaluated at endogastric solutions (egs) and an adhesive bond between one of the fastener tubes and distal shaft end was found separated.Additionally, multiple partial fasteners were found within the esophyx device, likely caused by the separated adhesive bond.A review of manufacturing records for the associated product lot was conducted, and no nonconformances reports or deviations were found for the affected product lot related to fastener delivery or adhesive bonding issues.Based on this review, there is no evidence to suggest a component or manufacturing defect caused or contributed to reported malfunction.Based on the available information received and engineering evaluation by egs, the cause of the reported incident could not be conclusively determined.There was no reported patient impact associated with this incident and egs deemed the incident as non-reportable at the time of the initial complaint.Egs has now determined if there is a recurrence of this malfunction, a serious adverse event may occur.Therefore, this incident is now reportable.
