H10: the lot number for the malfunction was provided and a lot history review was performed.There was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.The device has been returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.The investigation of the reported malfunction unconfirmed a breach of sterile barrier.The inner side of the seal on the pouch was examined for deformities in the seal such as channels, creases, nicks, or pinholes, and the seal was found to have no defects.The seal width was continuous, which indicates the sealing process was properly completed during manufacturing.The evidence suggests the sterile barrier was intact, until the inner pouch was opened by a user.Therefore, the evaluation unconfirmed the alleged report that the device's inner pouch was not sealed.The device is labeled for single use.H11: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
