    PMA/510(K): K212323. INVESTIGATION EVALUATION: A PRODUCT EVALUATION WAS NOT PERFORMED IN RESPONSE TO THIS REPORT BECAUSE THE PRODUCT SAID TO BE INVOLVED WAS NOT PROVIDED TO COOK FOR EVALUATION. THE REPORT COULD NOT BE CONFIRMED. THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD FOR THE LOT NUMBER SAID TO BE INVOLVED WAS REVIEWED. A DISCREPANCY OR ANOMALY WAS NOT OBSERVED WITH THE PRODUCT THAT WAS RELEASED FOR DISTRIBUTION. INVESTIGATION CONCLUSION: WE COULD NOT CONDUCT A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION BECAUSE THE PRODUCT SAID TO BE INVOLVED WAS NOT RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. A DEFINITIVE CAUSE FOR THE REPORTED OBSERVATION COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE STATE: "TO PERMANENTLY DEPLOY CLIP, PULL HANDLE SPOOL TOWARD HANDLE THUMB RING UNTIL CLIP DETACHES. NOTE: IF SEPARATION OF CLIP IS NOT IMMEDIATE, GENTLY MOVE CATHETER BACK AND FORTH OR USE OTHER ENDOSCOPIC MANEUVERS TO SEPARATE CATHETER FROM CLIP." THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTION: "IF CLIP DEPLOYMENT DEVICE IS USED WITH ENDOSCOPE IN A TORQUED OR RETROFLEXED POSITION, CLIP DEPLOYMENT DIFFICULTIES CAN OCCUR." PRIOR TO DISTRIBUTION, ALL INSTINCT ENDOSCOPIC HEMOCLIPS ARE SUBJECTED TO A VISUAL AND FUNCTIONAL INSPECTION TO ENSURE DEVICE INTEGRITY. A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD CONFIRMED THAT THE LOT SAID TO BE INVOLVED MET ALL MANUFACTURING REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO SHIPMENT. CORRECTIVE ACTION: A REVIEW OF THE COMPLAINT HISTORY WAS CONDUCTED. THE LIKELIHOOD OF OCCURRENCE IS CONSIDERED RARE. CORRECTIVE ACTION IS NOT WARRANTED AT THIS TIME BASED ON THE QUALITY ENGINEERING RISK ASSESSMENT. QUALITY ASSURANCE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR COMPLAINT TRENDS AND REASSESS THE RISK ASSESSMENT RESULTS AS POST MARKET FEEDBACK CONTINUES TO BECOME AVAILABLE.
