(b)(4).This final report is being submitted to provide the following additional information: as the product has not been returned and photographs have not been provided, visual and dimensional evaluations could not be performed.A review of the complaint database over the last 3 years has found no similar complaints for the item #159568.Review of the device history record does not provide any information to suggest the product was not released according to specification.The following evidence has been collated to assess the potential commingle: operation quality provided a list of all parts which were operated on by the same operators in either side of the complaint batch.This identified 7 potential batches which were at the same operation at the same time.The mhrs for the 7 batches were reviewed which showed that all parts were manufactured to pre-defined specification and there were not any discrepancies or deviations which could point to a potential commingle.Lot tracking was run which shows all parts have been distributed therefore it is not possible to return parts for visual and dimensional assessment.A complaint history search for the 8 mhr numbers (including reported complaint mhr) was conducted.There were no complaints reported for any of the potentially affected lot numbers (7 mhrs) or the reported complaint lot number apart from the originating complaint which triggered this investigation.Therefore, in light of the evidence gathered in this assessment, it is concluded that this reported event is unlikely to be due to a commingle, and the parts were distributed conforming to specification.With the information available it is not possible to establish the cause of the reported event.
