Additional Manufacturer Narrative
An investigation was completed: it was reported that on (b)(6) 2025, during an eviva procedure, the user reported the eviva petite blunt biopsy needle would not fire.The user was guided by hologic technical support on how to install the eviva petite blunt biopsy needle onto the system.Additionally, it was reported that the user was not utilizing the stylet holder to hold the stylet in place during the initial biopsy attempt.It was reported that the user was able to utilize the stylet holder and complete a successful biopsy; however, the patient required a second incision to do so.No further information is available.The device was not available for return; visual and functional analysis/testing could not be conducted for the described event.The device was not returned for this complaint, and only limited patient-related information was provided.Therefore, a full investigation could not be conducted.Based on the available information, the customer reported that the stylet holder was not used during the procedure.This information was considered relevant to the failure mode.Investigation for this issue was conducted through customer provided information, historical data review, similar complaints analysis, and product design evaluation.Without the returned device, it is not possible to confirm a definitive root cause of the issue.Root cause analysis did not identify a definitive root cause; only a contributing factor (no use of stylet holder during the procedure) was found to be associated with the reported event.The device was not returned for this complaint, and only limited customer information was provided, which restricted the scope of the investigation.Conclusion: the reported issue has been confirmed based on customer information.The risk index for this situation is within the range already calculated in the risk trending and it is probable that this is an isolated issue and not recurring problem within the product family, system or failure mode reported in the complaint.The event does not trigger escalation to nce, scar, or capa.Future events will be monitored and trended.Device history record (dhr) review: the dhr review was not conducted since the lot/serial number was not provided by the complainant.
