Additional Manufacturer Narrative

All available information was investigated, and the reported gripper actuation issues and detached gripper lines were confirmed via device analysis.A review of the lot history record revealed no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history did not indicate a lot-specific quality issue.Based on available information and the returned device analysis, the reported gripper actuation issue is a cascading event of the reported detached gripper lines.The investigation evaluated the reported issue, and the engineering group identified the likely root cause to be manufacturing variability at the supplier.The issue is being addressed per internal operating procedures.Abbott will continue to trend the performance of these devices.Codes removed: h6 medical device problem code: 1069 break.Codes added: h6 medical device problem code: 1562 material separation.
