As the reported defective device was not returned, angiodynamics is unable to perform a device evaluation.The customer's reported complaint description of sheath accordioned/buckled cannot be confirmed, no sample was returned.Without receiving product for evaluation, we are unable to definitively determine a root cause for this incident.A review of the device history records was performed for the reported packaging and component lots for any deviations related to the reported defect of the complaint.The review confirms that the lots met all material, assembly, and performance specifications.A review of the angiodynamics complaint system noted no adverse trends for this complaint type and product family.This type of complaint will continue to be monitored for trends.Reference (b)(6).
