Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
A visual inspection was performed on the returned device and the reported separation was confirmed.The reported failure to advance and difficulty to remove were unable to be replicated in a testing environment as it was based on operational circumstances.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 reported from this lot.The investigation determined the reported separation, failure to advance and difficult to remove appear to be related to operational circumstances of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling; therefore, no corrective action is required.
