In this incident, there was no report of injury to the pt. However, as a result of this malfunction, the potential for surgical intervention exists (though inadvisable per expert opinion provided by dr. ) to preclude injury or illness that would necessitate medical or surgical intervention to preclude permanent damage to a body structure or permanent impairment of a body function as evidenced by previous reported events. This event; therefore, is reportable per 21cfr part 803. Four unused files were returned and evaluated for land-width and diameter measurements and found to be in specification. Also, a dhr review was conducted; no abnormalities were noted.
