    (B)(4). IF INFORMATION IS OBTAINED THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE MEDWATCH, A FOLLOW-UP MEDWATCH WILL BE FILED AS APPROPRIATE. INVESTIGATION SUMMARY: THERE WERE FOUR COMPLAINT DEVICES REPORTED THAT WERE USED DURING ONE PROCEDURE. THREE OF THE DEVICES WERE FROM THE SAME LOT AND THE 4TH DEVICE WAS FROM A DIFFERENT LOT. THE FOUR DEVICES WERE RECEIVED, AND AN EVALUATION WAS PERFORMED ON EACH DEVICE. THERE IS NO LOT NUMBER ON THE DEVICES, THEREFORE WE CANNOT IDENTIFY WHICH ONES ARE FROM WHICH OF THE TWO LOTS REPORTED. A NON-CONFORMANCE SEARCH WAS PERFORMED FOR BOTH PRODUCT LOT NUMBER COMBINATIONS; PRODUCT CODE: 228151, LOT #: L915368, (QTY 3) AND PRODUCT CODE: 228151, LOT #: L982352. NO NON-CONFORMANCES WERE IDENTIFIED FOR EITHER ONE. THERE WERE PICTURES OF THE DEVICES PROVIDED AFTER THE REPORTED FAILURE. THE DEVICES WERE EVALUATED AND THE EVALUATIONS OF THE FOUR DEVICES ARE AS FOLLOWS: DEVICE 1 OF 4: VISUAL OBSERVATIONS REVEALED BOTH THE IMPLANTS GOT STUCK AT THE DISTAL END OF WHITE SLEEVE STOP TUBE OF THE DEVICE. THIS COMPLAINT CAN BE CONFIRMED. THE SHAFT IS SLIGHTLY BENT/DEFORMED NEAR THE DISTAL END OF THE DEVICE. BOTH IMPLANTS WERE INTACT AND LINKED TOGETHER WITH THE SUTURE, NO ANOMALIES WERE FOUND ON THE IMPLANTS. THE PUSHER ROD WAS EVALUATED, VIA FUNCTIONAL TESTING THE TRIGGER WAS PULLED. A CLICK WAS HEARD, INDICATING THE PUSHER ROD BY ITSELF WAS FUNCTIONAL. ONE OF THE POSSIBLE ROOT CAUSES FOR THE REPORTED FAILURE IS USER TECHNIQUE IN APPLYING THE DEVICE WITH TOO MUCH FORCE, BUT DUE TO THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE DEVICE WE CANNOT DETERMINE A DEFINITIVE ROOT CAUSE FOR THE REPORTED FAILURE. DEVICE 2 OF 4: FROM THE PICTURE PROVIDED, IT IS SHOWN THAT BOTH THE IMPLANTS GOT STUCK AT THE DISTAL END OF WHITE SLEEVE STOP TUBE OF THE DEVICE BUT WHEN THE DEVICE WAS VISUALLY OBSERVED THE TWO IMPLANTS HAVE FELL APART FROM THE DEVICE ALONG WITH THE SUTURE. THIS COMPLAINT CAN BE CONFIRMED. BOTH IMPLANTS WERE INTACT AND LINKED TOGETHER WITH THE SUTURE, NO ANOMALIES WERE FOUND ON THE IMPLANTS. THE PUSHER ROD WAS EVALUATED, VIA FUNCTIONAL TESTING THE TRIGGER WAS PULLED. A CLICK WAS HEARD, INDICATING THE PUSHER ROD BY ITSELF WAS FUNCTIONAL. ONE OF THE POSSIBLE ROOT CAUSES FOR THE REPORTED FAILURE IS USER TECHNIQUE IN APPLYING THE DEVICE WITH TOO MUCH FORCE, BUT DUE TO THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE DEVICE WE CANNOT DETERMINE A DEFINITIVE ROOT CAUSE FOR THE REPORTED FAILURE. DEVICE 3 OF 4: VISUAL OBSERVATION REVEALS THAT BOTH THE IMPLANTS WERE NOT RETURNED AND THERE WERE NO ANOMALIES ON THE DEVICE. THE COMPLAINT CAN BE CONFIRMED. THE PUSHER ROD WAS EVALUATED, VIA FUNCTIONAL TESTING THE TRIGGER WAS PULLED. A CLICK WAS HEARD, INDICATING THE PUSHER ROD BY ITSELF WAS FUNCTIONAL. ONE OF THE POSSIBLE ROOT CAUSES FOR THE REPORTED FAILURE IS USER TECHNIQUE IN APPLYING THE DEVICE WITH TOO MUCH FORCE, BUT DUE TO THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE DEVICE WE CANNOT DETERMINE A DEFINITIVE ROOT CAUSE FOR THE REPORTED FAILURE. DEVICE 4 OF 4: VISUAL OBSERVATION REVEALS THAT BOTH THE IMPLANTS WERE NOT RETURNED AND THERE WERE NO ANOMALIES ON THE DEVICE. THE COMPLAINT CAN BE CONFIRMED. THE PUSHER ROD WAS EVALUATED, VIA FUNCTIONAL TESTING THE TRIGGER WAS PULLED. A CLICK WAS HEARD, INDICATING THE PUSHER ROD BY ITSELF WAS FUNCTIONAL. ONE OF THE POSSIBLE ROOT CAUSES FOR THE REPORTED FAILURE IS USER TECHNIQUE IN APPLYING THE DEVICE WITH TOO MUCH FORCE, BUT DUE TO THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE DEVICE WE CANNOT DETERMINE A DEFINITIVE ROOT CAUSE FOR THE REPORTED FAILURE. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, NO CORRECTIVE ACTION IS REQUIRED, AND NO FURTHER ACTION IS WARRANTED. DEPUY MITEK WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK ANY RELATED COMPLAINTS WITHIN THIS DEVICE FAMILY AS A MEANS OF MONITORING THE EXTENT WITH WHICH THIS COMPLAINT IS OBSERVED IN THE FIELD. (B)(4).
