The reported event could not be confirmed since the device was not returned for evaluation as it was missing, and no other evidences were provided.A review of the device history was not possible because the lot number was not communicated.No corrective actions are required at this time.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.Indications of material, manufacturing, or design related problems were unable to be identified as the lot number was not communicated.Based on investigation, the root cause was attributed to a distribution related issue.As the device was under stryker consignment when the event occurred, a local non-conformity was opened to cover this missing device event to avoid such an occurrence in the future.In addition, and in this relation, the instructions for use also indicate the user should ultimately ensure all components are available before the procedure begins: before every operation, ensure that all components and devices to be used during the operation are available in the operation theatre and function correctly with each other.If the device is returned or if any additional information is provided, the investigation will be reassessed.
