    510K NUMBERS: K163248 & K151895. AN EXPECT PULMONARY NEEDLE DEVICE WAS RECEIVED FOR ANALYSIS. THE FOREIGN MATERIAL WAS NOT RETURNED. A VISUAL EVALUATION OF THE RETURNED DEVICE REVEALED THE WORKING LENGTH (NEEDLE AND SHEATH) WAS KINKED AT THE DISTAL END OF THE HANDLE AND THE DISTAL SECTION OF THE NEEDLE WAS ALSO BENT. THE NEEDLE WAS FULLY EXTENDED AND EXAMINED UNDER MAGNIFICATION AND WAS FOUND TO BE INTACT, WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLE TIP AND SHEATH TIP OBSERVED. THE LENGTH OF THE NEEDLE AND SHEATH WERE MEASURED AND BOTH WERE WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. A FUNCTIONAL EVALUATION WAS PERFORMED AND WHEN THE HANDLE WAS ACTUATED, THE NEEDLE COULD BE EXTENDED AND RETRACTED. BASED ON THE EVALUATION OF THE RETURNED DEVICE, THE WORKING LENGTH KINK MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO EITHER HANDLING AND MANIPULATION OF THE DEVICE BY THE USER OR INTERACTION WITH THE SCOPE DURING THE PROCEDURE. THE FOREIGN MATERIAL WAS NOT RETURNED FOR ANALYSIS AND SINCE THE DEVICE DID NOT SHOW ANY EVIDENCE OF BROKEN PARTS, A CLEAR CONCLUSION ABOUT THE CAUSE OF THE REPORTED EVENT COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THEREFORE, THE MOST PROBABLE CAUSE OF THE REPORTED EVENT IS CAUSE NOT ESTABLISHED. A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD (DHR) WAS PERFORMED AND CONFIRMED THAT THIS DEVICE MET ALL MATERIAL, ASSEMBLY AND PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS AT THE TIME OF RELEASE FOR DISTRIBUTION
