Samples were not received for the investigation.A device history record review could not be performed because a lot number was not received with the complaint.Because a sample was not returned, we were unable to perform a follow up investigation to include functional and visual evaluations to confirm the reported issue and determine the root cause, therefore a corrective action is not applicable at this time.If a sample is received at a later date, this complaint will be reopened for further investigation.
