Complaint allegation is confirmed.One unpackaged ar-s3420-110-134 cannula, w/ oblique window was received for investigation.Visual inspection of the device noted damaged to the diameter of the device, it was bent and slightly warped.Functional testing was conducted by attempting to pass the returned device through an ar-s3350-1015-139 spine endoscope and it was noted that the endoscope could not pass or fit through the cannula.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to misuse/mishandling due to the damage to the device.Refer to investigation photos.
