Section h3, h6: the package was not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.A review of the production order did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history for the part number over the past 12 months and for the batch number based on historical data of the device did not reveal similar events for the listed device.A review of the risk management file revealed this failure mode was previously identified.The anticipated risk level is still adequate.A historical review concluded that there are no prior actions related to this product and event.According to the packaging sequence, the component should be packed in a sealed inner pouch and then into a sealed outer pouch for sterilization, finally the outer pouch is place into sealed carton to shrink wrap.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the package failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include damage during shipping and/or mishandling.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should the package or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
