Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H3 evaluation summary: medtronic conducted an investigation based upon all information received.The device was available for evaluation.Visual inspection noted one suture and one needle.The needle was returned attached to the suture.The suture was partially wound within the retainer.The suture was returned broken 6 1/8 inches away from the needle attachment point.The measurement was taken with an aluminum rule, calibrated asset nh02505.The suture was removed from the retainer without issue.It was reported that the suture was broken.The reported issue could not be confirmed.The most likely cause could not be established from the information available.This issue may occur when the tensile strength of nonabsorbable sutures may be affected by damage during use after the product has been opened and may impact the validity of any test results.Damage during use may result in inadequate sample length to perform testing and/or deformation of the suture contributing to a loss in tensile strength.The manufacturing records for each device are thoroughly reviewed prior to release to ensure that it meets all medtronic quality specifications.A secondary review of the device history records found no potentially contributing factors.Medtronic submits this report to comply with fda regulations 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to provide as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.Medtronic will submit a supplemental report if additional relevant information becomes known.
