Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Per the instructions-for-use, provided with the device after rolling the device the user is instructed to "grasp the leading edge of the device with an atraumatic grasper or grasping tool.Take care to grasp both mesh and frame material." in follow up it is reported that the surgeon rolls the mesh and grabs onto the echo frame only and not both mesh and frame as instructed in the instructions-for-use, prior to inserting the device down the 12 mm trocar.Grabbing only the echo frame and not both the mesh and frame, could cause the frame to detach from the mesh during deployment.The most probable root cause is determined to be use related.It was reported that the echo 2 device would be returned for evaluation.When the package was opened it only contained the outer carton with no device present inside.A review of the manufacturing records was performed and found that the lot was manufactured to specification.To date this is the only reported complaint for this production lot of (b)(4) units released for distribution in april, 2019.Not returned.
