The perforator was returned for evaluation.The perforator unit was inspected using the unaided eye.The unit was returned disassembled with more parts than for one unit, but not enough parts for two entire units.The eo labels were worn and could not be read.Ifu testing was performed.The unit had to be reassembled/re-sleeved as it could not be tested in as-received condition additionally, it was re-sleeved and tested through the failure analysis process in both possible configurations with the parts which were returned.Testing included: applying adequate pressure on the perforator point, ensuring engagement occurs as the hudson end is rotated.When engagement occurs, placing thumb pressure on the perforator point to ensure a smooth, positive spring action.Ensuring the hudson end rotates smoothly within the perforator body when the unit is in the disengaged position.Functional testing was performed using the same protocol it underwent at finished goods testing prior to release.The unit was found to perform as intended and fulfilled the acceptance criteria.In the failure analysis that was performed, the returned unit was found to work as intended, and met all acceptance criteria.The complaint could not be verified through failure analysis.The root cause is undetermined and was unable to be confirmed in the complaint evaluation.
