The device, intended for use in treatment, was returned for evaluation.A visual inspection reported no defects.The functional evaluation did not reveal any malfunction, could not establish a relationship between the device and the reported event.The probable root cause maybe the vacuum level was set low.The manufacturing records show no evidence that the product did not meet the specification at the time of manufacture.A complaint history review found further instances of the reported event.This investigation is now complete with no further action deemed necessary.Smith + nephew will continue to monitor for any adverse trends relating to this product range.
