Manufacturer Narrative

H3, h6: the associated device packages were returned and evaluated.A visual inspection of the returned device reveals the sterile packages are open.A review made by the quality engineering team revealed that, based on the assessment of the device¿s sterile barrier system, the defect occurred in distribution and would not be related to a manufacturing issue.Additionally, the location where the pouches were ruptured is not the location where they are heat sealed in production.Visual inspections performed during production are set-up to detect any issues not only with the device but also with the sterile barrier system.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 part must be placed inside an inner pouch and then sealed.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the packages failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should 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.
