Investigation completed 17jan2018.Patency testing of the received osv ii valve did not reveal any anomaly.Pressure/flow testing showed the valve pressure/flow characteristics are below the specification.The valve modulus was then removed from its silicone elastomer housing and further microscopic examination revealed residues in the valve mechanism, on the pin and seat.No other anomaly was observed.The device history records of ref 909708s lot number 196598, serial number (b)(4) were reviewed and did not reveal any anomaly.The batch was manufactured in july 2016 and included 13 valves.No similar complaint was received for a product from this batch.The complaint is verified; the received valve is out of specification because of the presence of residue in the valve mechanism.These residue may explain the reported underdrainage (the valve was manufactured in 2016, duration of implantation is unknown).
