Tw # (b)(4).Updated sections: b4, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6, h11.The device was returned to the factory for evaluation on (b)(6) 2025.A photograph was provided by the account.A photographic evaluation was conducted.Signs of clinical use and evidence of slight blood was observed on the c-ring.The opening within the c-ring was significantly wider than normal.No other visual defects were observed in the photograph.An investigation was conducted on (b)(6) 025.A visual inspection was conducted.Signs of clinical use and evidence of slight blood was observed on the c-ring.There were no visual defects observed on the intact cannula handle.The c-ring was observed to be significantly wider than normal.The scope wash tubing and the c-ring remained attached to the cannula.Based on the returned condition of the device as well the evaluation results, the reported failure "material twisted/bent- c-ring" was confirmed.A manufacturing engineering evaluation was conducted; a visual inspection was conducted.Signs of clinical use and evidence of slight blood was observed on the c-ring.There were no visual defects observed on the intact cannula handle.The c-ring was observed to be misshapen.The c-ring was inspected under magnification and it was observed that it was misshapen when compared to a reference c-ring.Additional inspection was conducted on the c-ring and was compared to a reference c-ring.There was objective evidence of damage to the c-ring.Based on the visual evidence, the c-ring, molded nozzle was damaged causing the c-ring to become misshapen.Based on the manufacture engineer results, the reported failure "material twisted/bent- c-ring" was confirmed.The lot # 3000499906 history record review was completed.There were no ncmrs, rework, or deviations documented for the reported lot number.Based on the dhr/lhr review results, it was determined that there is no relation between the batch manufacturing process and the reported failure.
