Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Block h6 (device codes): problem code 2921 captures the reportable event of basket failure to release stone.Block h10: visual examination of the returned device revealed that the basket was closed when received.The pull wire was found kinked and the handle cannula detached (broken).Additionally, the peek sheath was found damaged and detached at the proximal section near to handle.The complaint was consistent with the reported event of spybasket failure to release stone.It was determined that the pull wire got kinked probably during the stone extraction by the customer, the continued attempts to retract the handle or force applied to the device to extract the stone could kink the pull wire creating friction that result in handle cannula detached (broken).This device condition could contribute to the reported failure to release the stone issue and dfu instructions states that to avoid basket impaction, use fluoroscopy or x-ray and direct visualization to determine the size of the stone or foreign body.Do not use basket if stone or foreign body cannot be removed endoscopically or held in the basket.Therefore, the most probable cause of this complaint is failure to follow instructions since problems traced to the user not following the manufacturer's instructions and it is not considered as an issue of the device.A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed and confirmed that this device met all material, assembly and performance specifications at the time of release to distribution.
