Evaluation summary: the device was received for evaluation.Visual inspection found that the device is broken.The investigation of the returned equipment identified that the plunger is not connected to the handle - this is due to user mishandling of turning the handle more than 1/8 of turn.The ifu(instructions for use) states: pressing down on the plunger too slowly may result in the capsule not properly attaching to the patient¿s esophagus or not detaching from the delivery device.Do not rotate the plunger while depressing it.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
