    (B)(4). EVALUATION SUMMARY: ONE DELIVERY SYSTEM AND CAPSULE WERE RETURNED TO MEDTRONIC FOR EVALUATION. THE DELIVERY SYSTEM WAS INVESTIGATED VISUALLY FOR EXTERNAL DAMAGE. THE TROCAR NEEDLE WAS ADVANCED. THE DELIVERY SYSTEM WAS NOT BENT AND THE PLUNGER WAS NOT BROKEN. THE PLUNGER WAS NOT PUSHED TO THE END. THE EMERGENCY RELEASE ON THE DELIVERY SYSTEM WAS NOT IMPLEMENTED. THE CAPSULE ELECTRODES WERE VISUALLY ACCEPTABLE. THE WIRE THAT HOLDS THE CAPSULE WAS COMPLETELY OFF AND THE FOAM GASKET WAS IN GOOD CONDITION. THE DELIVERY SYSTEM DID NOT HAVE ANY OTHER VISIBLE DAMAGE. AS THE PRODUCT WAS RECEIVED, THE PLUNGER NOT BEING PUSHED TO THE END IS INDICATIVE OF MISHANDLING. THERE WAS NO REQUIRED INTERVENTION TO PREVENT PERMANENT IMPAIRMENT/DAMAGE IN THIS CASE. THE INFORMATION WAS UPDATED IN THIS SUPPLEMENTAL.

    A REPEAT PROCEDURE WAS NECESSARY DUE TO THE ALLEGED DEVICE MALFUNCTION. INTERVENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. THERE WAS NOTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THE PATIENT OR PROCEDURE ITSELF THAT MAY HAVE LED TO THIS EVENT. AN ENDOSCOPY WAS PERFORMED PRIOR TO THE PROCEDURE AND THE ESOPHAGUS APPEARED TO BE NORMAL. THE DEVICE OPERATOR HAS BEEN PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE FOR FIVE YEARS. LUBRICANT WAS USED TO FACILITATE CAPSULE PLACEMENT, BUT THE REPORTER COULD NOT CONFIRM THAT LUBRICANT DID NOT GO INTO THE CAPSULE CHAMBER. NO KNOWN ADVERSE EVENTS WERE REPORTED.
