The fiber was not returned to our post market quality assurance laboratory; therefore, neither a visual nor microscopic analysis was performed.The reported allegation of fiber break was not confirmed.A labeling review was performed.The labeling review found that the product ifu (instructions for use) states: inspect the fiber for kinks, punctures, fractures, or other damage.If the fiber appears damaged, do not use the fiber; return it to the supplier for replacement and hold the fiber tip to a non-reflective surface, and ensure that a circular red/green spot appears.If the spot is not circular, cleave the fiber.If the spot is weak or not visible, discard the fiber or return it to the supplier for replacement.A risk review was completed and confirmed that the event of fiber break is defined in the risk documentation.This event type has been accounted for during product risk analysis to support acceptable risk benefit for the product.A ship history review and a dhr (device history review) could not be performed due to the fiber upn and lot could not be identified.Based on the information available, a conclusion code of cause not established was assigned to this investigation.
