H3) device evaluation: medtronic led an evaluation of the reported secure cadiere forceps and the associated device logs.Evaluation of the logs showed that the secure cadiere forceps was connected to a sterile interface module (sim).There were instances of a manual insertion attempt without an instrument being connected.This can indicate connectivity issues.The secure cadiere forceps was replaced with another one.Visual inspection of the returned secure cadiere forceps noted no corrosion on the electrical contacts.There was no damage noted to the jaws or of the drive cables.Functionally, the jaws were manipulated into multiple positions in order to inspect the cables.The jaws were able to achieve each position fully with no difficulty.Electrical testing was performed and the secure cadiere forceps was read with no observed failures.Evaluation of the secure cadiere forceps confirmed the reported condition, however, the investigation concluded there were no abnor malities that would have caused or contributed to the reported condition; therefore, the investigation was not able to identify a root cause.However, the most likely cause could be traced to instrument connectivity issues.Records from each manufacturing lot are thoroughly reviewed to ensure that products are released meeting all medtronic quality release specifications at the time of manufacture.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.
