H10: manufacturing review: the device history records have been reviewed and this lot met all release criteria.There was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.Investigation summary: one marquee disposable core biopsy instrument was received for evaluation.During visual evaluation, the device appeared to be clean, and the device was received in its initial position with the penetration depth marker set to 25mm and no visual anomalies were noted to the device.Upon functional testing, the device was able to fully prime with no issues.Upon firing the device however, the trocar stylet did not fully fire as the sample notch was not exposed.The device was disassembled for further evaluation and visual inspection.It was noted that the cannula was detached from the hub, the required sandblasting was non-homogenous, and the cannula end was not flared.Therefore, the investigation for the reported failure to prime issue remains inconclusive as it is unknown if the identified issues contributed to the reported event.The investigation is confirmed for the identified failure to fire issue as the device was unable to fully fire during functional testing.The investigation is confirmed for the identified nonstandard device issue as the cannula was found detached, nonhomogeneous, and not flared.The investigation is confirmed for the identified detachment of device or device component issue as the cannula was found detached.The root cause for the reported failure to prime, identified failure to fire and identified detachment of device or device component issues are likely due to the condition of the cannula (e.G., detached, nonhomogeneous, and not flared).The root cause for the identified nonstandard device issue is determined to be manufacturing related.Labeling review: as the reported event did not allege a labeling or use related issue, a labeling review is not required.Section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
