[185271930]
A customer notification was issued for the encor breast biopsy probe for specific product code/lot number combinations. The affected product code/lot number combinations may be at risk of experiencing a leak between the probe and the tissue collection chamber, which could result in minimal suction, leakage, minimal or no tissue sample obtained, or an egress of fluids from the device. A root cause investigation and field action determination was conducted as a result of an increase in complaints for leaks, suction issues, and failure to obtain samples. The investigation included an extensive manufacturing review, risk documentation review for the three reported malfunctions, and evaluations performed on the returned devices. The investigation identified that one of the features on the trap chamber was under specified and during the implementation of a new trap chamber ((b)(4)) mold, one of the dimensions changed and went undetected, creating a difference between the amount of space that the seal has between the trap chamber and the front seal cap. This gap between the trap chamber and front seal cap resulted in conditions that led to a higher likelihood of leaks, suction issues, and failure to obtain samples. All reported complaints from the affected product code/lot number combinations that are possibly related to the gap between the trap chamber and front seal cap have been classified as leak, suction issues), or failure to obtain samples. This reported complaint is from an affected lot number that was reported for one of these trap chamber issues. (expiry date 10/2020), (device component code: (b)(4)).
