Plant investigation: the complaint device was not returned to the manufacturer, preventing a physical evaluation from being performed.A production records review was performed on the reported lot.An investigation of the device history records (dhr) was conducted by the manufacturer.There was no indication of product nonacceptance, deviation, non-conformance, rework, labeling or process control failure during the manufacturing process which could be associated with the reported event.The lot met all release criteria.Since a physical evaluation could not be performed, the reported issue could not be confirmed.Furthermore, its cause could not be determined.
