Manufacturer Narrative
|
The associated device, intended for use in treatment, was returned and evaluated.A visual inspection of the returned device could not confirm the stated failure mode.The device was manufactured in 2015 and was returned unused in its original packaging.The sterilization date on the box corresponds to the date of manufacture.The product evaluation confirmed the stated failure mode.The expiration date in sap does not match what is on the device.A review of complaint history did not reveal additional complaints for the listed batch.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.At this time, we do not have reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.The potential probable cause for this event is likely human error.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is indicated.The expiration date in sap has been corrected.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.
