Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).Complaint verification testing could not be performed as no sample was returned for analysis.The lot number was not reported; therefore a device history record review was performed based on a potential lot number from the customer.No relevant findings were identified.Without the device to evaluate, the complaint could not be confirmed and the probable cause could not be determined from the available information.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.If the sample becomes available at a later date a follow up report will be submitted with investigation results.

Event Description

Customer complaint alleges "the temperature probe would not read temp appropriately".The issue was discovered when the temperature probe was hooked up to the heater during patient use.No patient harm reported.When a different device was used, the temperature displayed correctly.
