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.Root cause: the customer¿s implication of this lot is due to a known manufacturing defect of the control y.This filed report is likely based on prior root cause information exchanged for identical failure modes previously reported by the customer.In the case of the manufacturing defect of the control y, the incomplete knit line was formed when the injection process did not allow for adequate resin transfer into the mold.This weakened area becomes the leak point.Corrective action: corrective action has been implemented at the customer's site for the manufacturing defect of the control y.
