Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H3 evaluation summary: medtronic conducted an investigation based upon all information received.The device was available for evaluation.The device was re ceived with the bag and string detached to the metal ring.The gold ring was still attached to the plunger.The black sheath was disengaged from the shaft of the device.It was reported that the sheath disengaged.The reported issue was confirmed.The product analysis noted evidence that the device was not used as intended.This issue may occur if the plunger is retracted after bag deployment before the bag is completely cinched by pulling the green ring.This premature retraction causes undesirable bag detachment.The manufacturing records for each device are thoroughly reviewed prior to release to ensure that it meets all medtronic quality specifications.The instructions included with this device provide the following guidance: if bag does not pull through easily, enlarge the incision to accommodate easy removal for specimens with diameters larger than the trocar site incision.Failure to follow this warning could cause the bag to break and the specimen to fall back into the body cavity.Medtronic submits this report to comply with fda regulations 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to provide as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.Medtronic will submit a supplemental report if additional relevant information becomes known.
