    (B)(4). EVALUATION SUMMARY: EVALUATION OF THE RETURNED DEVICE NOTED THAT THE PLUNGER, ANTERIOR NEEDLE, LINK AND CUFFS WERE NOT RETURNED WITH THE DEVICE; THEREFORE, THE SCOPE OF THIS INVESTIGATION WAS VERY LIMITED. INSPECTION OF THE RETURNED DEVICE INDICATED THAT THE POSTERIOR CUFF MISS HAD OCCURRED AS EVIDENCED BY UNDISTURBED POSTERIOR NEEDLE. THERE WAS NO NEEDLE STRIKE MARK OBSERVED AT THE POSTERIOR FOOT. THIS IS INDICATIVE OF THE POSTERIOR NEEDLE BEING DEFLECTED AWAY FROM POSTERIOR FOOT INSTEAD OF ENGAGED WITH THE POSTERIOR CUFF INSIDE THE POSTERIOR FOOT POCKET DURING NEEDLE DEPLOYMENT AS DESIGNED. DURING TESTING, A PROXY PLUNGER WAS INSERTED TO TEST THE NEEDLE TRAJECTORY AND PUSH MANDREL TRAVEL AND THE RESULTS MET THE MANUFACTURING CRITERIA. BASED ON THE INVESTIGATION FINDINGS, THE PROBABLE CAUSE FOR THE POSTERIOR CUFF MISS IS NEEDLE DEFLECTION DURING PLUNGER DEPLOYMENT DUE TO INTERACTION WITH HUMAN TISSUE OR A FAILURE TO MAINTAIN A STABLE POSITION OF THE DEVICE WITH RESPECT TO THE TISSUE TRACT AS SPECIFIED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (IFU). NO MANUFACTURING OR QUALITY ISSUE WAS DETECTED. A REVIEW OF THE PRODUCT LOT HISTORY RECORD DID NOT REVEAL ANY NONCONFORMING MATERIAL RECORDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOT. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY INDICATION OF A LOT SPECIFIC PRODUCT QUALITY DEFICIENCY.
