Qn# (b)(4).Sample was received without its original package (pouch) instead sample was received on a (b)(6) bag with a disinfection tag.Per visual inspection, blade and core are jammed.Signs of lodged tissue are visible in the punch.While attempting to disengage the punch by hand, the blade and core release the jam, confirming that a portion of tissue was causing the jam in the punch.The tissue was removed and cleaned from the tip of the punch in order to review its functionality.A cut with a pork aorta was performed and the punch performed correctly, no signs of jam were detected.Based in the analysis performed, the lodged tissue was removed from the punch and then the punch performed correctly.Customer complaint is not confirmed due to a failure to follow ifu steps 3 and 4 which states that excised tissue has to be removed prior performing another opening.Manufacturing personnel was notified of this event for awareness.
