Manufacturer Narrative

Evaluation summary: a review of the device history record (dhr) could not be conducted because a lot number was not provided one decontaminated sample without the original package or lot number was received at the manufacturing site for evaluation.The sample was visually and functionally inspected.After this review it was observed that the enfit connector was missing from the rest of the device; this connector was not received.The reported condition was confirmed; the device does not meet specifications.The analysis performed by the team concluded that the main root cause was due to a workmanship issue generated when an operator failed to apply enough solvent to the enfit connection, causing a weak connection.A new solvent dispenser was implemented for better solvent application.This complaint will be used for tracking and trending purposes.
