Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device history record was reviewed and indicated that the product was released accomplishing all quality standards.Two used samples were received for evaluation.The sample was visually evaluated.Both samples were found to be clogged with dry formula along the pvc lines that obstructed the tube path at the valve level, no functional evaluation could be performed since the product could not be unclogged.A fault wasn¿t found to be related to manufacturing; possible root cause could be incorrect formula inside the tube or incorrect homogenization process for the formula but since the sample was received on inadequate conditions root cause could not be verified.No corrective actions will apply since failure mode was not confirmed related to manufacturing, it will be confirmed as unknown source.This complaint will be used for tracking and trending purposes.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
