It was reported that the customer ordered 25 of part 19927 (connector luer-lock w/tube) and received a box with only 1.They reported that the box appeared to have already been opened and so in addition to 24 of the 25 devices being missing, they are concerned the remaining part was no longer sterile.They provided a picture of the part they received and the box it was received in.Atrium has no record of shipping product to the complainant, so they most likely acquired the device from a distributor.Furthermore, the box pictured is not the carton that 25 of the pouches would have been packaged in, so this does not appear to be the original packaging that atrium would have shipped the product in.Additionally, the carton that these products are shipped in is not a sterile barrier.The pouch around each individual device is the sterile barrier.However, as the pouch was removed from its shelf box and repackaged, the integrity of its seal cannot be guaranteed.The outer packaging does not appear to be from atrium and it is not known why the customer did not receive the whole shipment they ordered.Three attempts were made to contact the customer in order to gather more information but the customer never responded.There was no patient involvement in this case and it was not reported that this caused any delay in treatment of a patient.Based on the information provided by the complainant and gathered during the investigation, it can be confirmed that the product was nonconforming when the complainant received it due to the device being shipped individually and not in its original packaging provided by atrium.The nonconformance appears to have resulted from a distributor repackaging the device.The root-cause of this complaint is third party service.The dhr was reviewed and found no nonconformance or anomalies in manufacturing or packaging of the device.Complaint trending did not identify any excursions that require a corrective action request.The complaint history review did not identify any related complaints.The review of cars/capas did not identify any cars or capas related to this complaint.A recurring lot number review did not find any other complaints involving lot 468104.H3 other text: device not available for return.
