Concomitant products: cook conquest ttc lithotriptor cable, unknown reference part number.Initial reporter occupation: unknown.Investigation evaluation: provided with the returned device was a micro label from the lot number provided in the report.The label matches the product returned.Three (3) baskets for related 1037905-2019-00304 and one (1) basket for this report were included in the return, as well as two (2) detached basket handles, two (2) detached basket sheaths, a loose section of drive wire, and a conquest ttc lithotripter cable.Because it was unknown which basket handle/sheath belonged to which basket, a handle and sheath were arbitrarily chosen to be included in this report and the other handle and sheath is included in 1037905-2019-00304.The loose section of drive wire and the conquest ttc lithotripter cable are included in pr 1037905-2019-00304.Our evaluation of the product confirmed the report.A section of the distal end of the basket approximately 177.4 cm long was included in the return.The drive wire was broken and frayed at the proximal end of the returned portion of the device.The basket was misshapen.A product-specific discrepancy that could have caused or contributed to this observation was not observed during our laboratory analysis.The handle had a small amount of wire at the distal end where it was cut prior to lithotripsy.The remaining sheath was approximately 217.3 cm long with kinks throughout and contained clear fluid.The device history record for the lot number said to be involved was reviewed.A discrepancy or anomaly was not observed with the product that was released for distribution.Investigation conclusion: a definitive cause for this observation could not be determined because the actual use conditions could not be duplicated in the laboratory setting.Due to a variety of clinical conditions such as patient anatomy, endoscope position or progression of disease state, we could not reproduce the actual conditions of product usage during our laboratory analysis.This limits our ability to conclusively determine a cause.The instructions for use for this device includes the following: "surgical intervention may be required if impaction occurs." the instructions for use of the sohendra lithotriptor handle warns, "due to the varying compositions of biliary stones, stone fracture may not be possible.If the stone cannot be fractured, continued rotation of the handle may cause the basket wire to break, requiring surgical intervention." prior to distribution, all the web extraction baskets 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: a review of the complaint history was conducted.The likelihood of occurrence is considered rare.Corrective action is not warranted at this time based on the quality engineering risk assessment.Quality assurance will continue to monitor for complaint trends and reassess the risk assessment results as post market feedback continues to become available.
