(b)(4).The device was returned to the factory for evaluation.A visual inspection was conducted.Signs of clinical use with evidence of blood were observed.The delivery device was outside the loading device when it was returned.Blood was evident on both components.It was observed that the tension spring assembly remained inside the delivery tube and the seal hanging by the tip of the tube.Blood was all over the delivery device, indicating an attempt to insert the seal into the aorta.The blue lock on the delivery device was disengaged but the white plunger remained un-pressed.The seal which was tainted with blood was observed to be cracked at the center.The tension spring assembly and seal were pulled out from the delivery tube for inspection.The tether remained uncut but detached from the seal.Microscopic inspection of the seal showed cracks at the middle portion but the edges were intact.Based on the returned condition of the device and the evaluation results, the reported failure "fitting problem" was confirmed.The reported failure "activation problem" was not confirmed.The analyzed failure "crack/delaminated seal" was confirmed.
