Manufacturer Narrative

The device has not been returned to the manufacturer so we are unable to complete an evaluation.If provided we will send a supplemental report with our additional findings.There was no reported malfunction.All the failure modes are addressed in the risk file.No labeling review can be completed as there was no reported malfunction.There were no crf/capa/scar/nmcr identified for "no reported malfunction".The investigation does not indicate that the device was inadvertently released as non-conforming or an adulterated product or was a counterfeit.The complaint history review did not identify an adverse trend (increase in number of complaints over past three (3) months).Based on the rational provided above, no escalation to the capa process is required.Reference complaint# (b)(4).
