As reported, a foreign material was found on the perfix light plug.The material was removed from the device and the device was implanted into the patient.The material removed was returned for evaluation.The evaluation confirmed the material to be a piece of the monofilament used when stitching the petals of the perfix light plug together.There was no alleged detachment of the plug during use, indicating that the material found is residual from the manufacturing process likely from the when the thread is cut.Based on the investigation and returned sample evaluation, the root cause is determined to be manufacturing related.A review of the manufacturing records was performed and found that the lot was manufactured to specification.To date, this is the only reported complaint for this manufacturing lot of (b)(4) units released for distribution in february, 2020.
