Product analysis: the hawkone device was received into medtronic investigation lab for evaluation along with the cutter driver.There were no ancillary devices or images received.Bend in the torque shaft beneath strain relief? there was bend noted in the torque shaft beneath the strain relief.The slide cover was received inserted into the cutter driver however, the rotator assembly was detached and the drive shaft assembly was exposed.The thumb-switch remained attached and inserted within the cutter driver.A fracture was noted in the rotator collar assembly.A bend was noted in the drive shaft at dislocation area.The drive shaft bend was microscopically inspected and it was noted that the drive shaft was damaged and the inner coil was exposed.No further anomalies were noted with the cutter driver.The cutter driver was returned in the ¿off¿ position.The device was able to be successfully reassembled for functional testing.Biological debris was noted in the distal assembly.Cutter was advanced approximately 2.1cm distal to the cutter window.No damage noted to the distal assembly.The cutter driver was powered on and the cutter was attempted to be retracted within the cutter window however, the cutter driver did not activate during retraction and the cutter was unable to be fully retracted.A functional cutter driver from the lab was connected to the hawkone device and the cutter was retracted successfully.No anomalies were noted with the cutter.The cutter was then advanced.The cutter advanced 2.2cm distal to the cutter window.No anomalies were noted during advancement of the device.Both cutter driver were cracked open and the batteries were inspected.It was noted that the connection on the one of the battery terminals was loose within the reported cutter driver.The battery from the good cutter driver was attached to the returned cutter driver and the hawkone device was connected to the cutter driver.The device was powered on and the cutter was successfully retracted.The bad battery was also connected to the functional cutter driver from the lab and the hawkone was connected however, during retraction the device would not power on.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
