Investigation evaluation:
a product evaluation was not performed in response to this report because the product said to be involved was not provided to cook for evaluation.The report could not be confirmed.A photo was provided of the device coiled inside the pouch and the lot number matches that in the report.The device history record for the lot number said to be involved was reviewed.Nonconformances that could potentially be related to the complaint were contained in the associated dhr.The nonconformance documentation supports the affected device(s) were dispositioned appropriately prior to release of this lot.There is no evidence nonconforming product was released for distribution.In an effort to heighten awareness of the potential connection of the customers report to the current manufacturing processes production personnel were notified.Investigation conclusion:
we could not conduct a complete investigation because the product said to be involved was not returned for evaluation.A definitive cause for the reported observation could not be determined.The instructions for use states, "note: if separation of the clip is not immediate, gently move the catheter back and forth or use other endoscopic maneuvers to separate the catheter from the clip."
prior to distribution, all instinct plus endoscopic clipping devices are subjected to a visual inspection and functional testing to ensure device integrity.A review of the device history record confirmed that the lot said to be involved met all manufacturing requirements prior to shipment.Corrective action:
based on the quality engineering risk assessment no corrective action is warranted at this time.A review of the complaint history was conducted.Based on this review, the likelihood of this type of report is rare.Quality assurance will continue to monitor for complaint trends.
