Manufacturer Narrative

Results of investigation: the device was not returned for evaluation but the pictures were reviewed, and they confirm that the package has a hole in it that compromises the sterility barrier.A review of the manufacturing records 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 24 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.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Packaging damage during shipping or mishandling could be probable causes of the reported event.The contribution of the device to the reported event could be corroborated since it caused a minimal delay in the procedure and a backup device was needed.This issue was evaluated through our internal quality process and determined to be isolated at this time.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.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.
