Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Visual inspection was performed on the returned device.The reported separation was confirmed.Production record and corrective and preventative actions (capa) reviews were performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar complaints from this lot.Based on the reported information and the observations from the returned analysis, the investigation determined that the reported separation appears to be related to operational context.Return device analysis noted that the hypotube fracture face was in an oval shape which can indicate the hypotube was kinked and then separated.In this case, it is likely that the device was inadvertently mishandled during preparation and/or removal from the dispenser hoop, such that the device became kinked and upon further manipulation the hypotube ultimately separated.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.Correction: g4 - pma/510(k) # h6: device code 2017 - improper or incorrect procedure or method- incorrect prep.
