Manufacturer Narrative
|
One torosa device was received for evaluation.Examination and testing of the returned component revealed a separation between the mid line and injection port on the shell of the device.Testing revealed this to be a site of leakage.Microscopic examination of the surface revealed a small separation with a central groove indicating the area was in contact with a small sharp instrument such as a needle.Because this component was released according to manufacturing and quality control procedures, quality concluded that the observed instrument damage on the testicular shell occurred subsequent to the device packaging being opened, most likely during the prepping/filling of the device for surgery.Management routinely reviews events such as this and monitors complaint levels.Additionally, events of this type are captured in the product risk documentation.Based on this information no further corrective action is required at this time.
