Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).The results of this investigation are inconclusive because the aco was not returned for evaluation.A review of the device history record confirmed the aco met all visual, dimensional, and functional specifications at the time it was manufactured, prior to shipment.There was no evidence to suggest there was an intrinsic defect in the aco, and the cause for the reported event remains unknown.
