Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Complaint allegation is confirmed.Visual inspection noted that the suturelasso wire loop was not returned/attached to the driver.The driver suture lasso did not have any visual issues.Functional testing was not performed due to the damage to the device.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to user error of the device due to excessive force being used during use.
