Additional information: h6 (medical device problem code) plant investigation: the actual sample was not available for evaluation, and the lot number was not provided.As such, a device history record (dhr) review was performed on all possible batches.The results of the batch production record controls were found to be conforming.No non-conformities were observed during the manufacturing process.Although the actual sample was not available, an evaluation of the retained samples was performed by the manufacturer.The samples underwent a visual inspection where they were checked for component defects, assembly failures, and conformity with the product specifications.The samples then underwent leakage testing where they were checked under air/liquid pressure for leaks and other assembly failures.No failures were detected.The described situation is adequately addressed in the instructions for use (ifu) and/or on the label.Without examination of the actual complaint sample, a cause for the reported event could not be determined.
