Manufacturer Narrative

The associated device was returned and evaluated.A visual inspection of the returned device could not confirm the stated failure mode.The device was returned without its original packaging.A review of the attached picture and device history record confirmed the device was manufactured in 2016 and has a 2016 sterilization expiration date on the device label.A review of complaint history for the part number over the past 12 months and for the batch number based on historical data of the device did not reveal similar events for the listed device.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 have reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A review of the risk management file revealed this failure mode was previously identified.The anticipated risk level is still adequate.Assessment of historical escalated cases concluded that there are no prior actions related to this device and failure mode.A contribution of the device to the reported event could be corroborated as the packaging label did not have the correct expiration date.Some potential probable causes for this event could include but not limited system data input incorrect.The quality team found this complaint to be an isolated event and did not have an impact on the patient's safety.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
