Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation: a review of the device history record (dhr) for this unit showed no irregularities during manufacturing that were relevant to this issue.Due to the packaging being undamaged and end caps were in place, there is no risk of sterility.Additionally, since there are no solutions in the set there is no risk of injury to the donor.Root cause: the disposable set was unavailable for specific root cause analysis.A definitive root cause for the customer using an expired set was not determined.Mostly likely, the customer¿s inventory management could have resulted in the set being available for use.Additional information: due to this being an isolated incident and the customer is very knowledgeable of precautionary measures associated with using trima product, no customer training is required.
