Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).Follow up: the complaint product was returned, and an evaluation was performed.The root cause of the issue is undetermined.Instrument 88-9100 batch no.G30237 indicates that the product is not a trokamed product.(the trokamed supplier code for bd is ¿xtr¿: every batch number of a trokamed product starts with this prefix).Additionally, there are some differences on a design level in comparison to our standard product mos05001.The serial number is unknown.Trokamed manufactures for bd with lot code xtr.Also, the instrument marking is black, not white as usually done by trokamed.As can be seen on the customer¿s complaint instrument, the black insulation does not extend to just before the working end, as is usual with the trokamed instrument.Perhaps the instrument was rebuilt.The product would have been manufactured and tested according to the specifications.A review of the device history records (dhr) could not be performed as the lot code is not accurate.There have been no issues identified with the material or manufacturing process.
