Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was returned for analysis.The reported material separation was able to be confirmed.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar incidents from this lot.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that during unpackaging inadvertent mishandling resulted in the noted kinked dispenser coil; thus resulting in the reported shaft separation at the same location inside the dispenser coil.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
