Manufacturer Narrative

As neither a lot number nor samples have been made available to us, no analyses could be performed.We have requested further information because it is unclear how a patient could have swallowed a white round foam ecg electrode with blue print, diameter 40mm.We have repeatedly requested further information on the concerned lot number, the severity of the incident for the patient und if and how the patient had to be treated afterwards.We have been informed that "our distributor says that there are several other distributor between [them and] the hospital so it is difficult to get the detail.We asked him again to contact the customer directly.Here is a few additional information regarding this matter.1.The customer mentioned that if anything happens to the patient, he/she will contact our distributor again.No contact has made after that yet.2.The patient did not get special treatment, just wait and see till the electrode is excreted." as no further information was provided despite repeated requests no conclusion regarding the cause of the incident can be drawn.Anyhow, based on the provided information we assume that no reportable event has happened at all.We therefore close the investigation and the report.
