The subject device is not available; therefore, visual and functional testing as well as physical analysis cannot be performed.The reported complaint could not be confirmed, and it could not be definitively determined if the device failed to meet specifications because the product was not returned.Due to the automated mes system there are controls in the manufacturing process to ensure the product met specifications upon release.Based upon medical review, the harm observed in the complaint is anticipated in nature as per the device risk assessment.The reported event is covered in the device directions for use (dfu).As well, the risk of the reported event is documented in the risk documentation and there are current controls to mitigate the risk of the as reported event.The reported event was unable to be confirmed and it cannot be confirmed that the device met specification, as the device was not returned.Additional information received from the customer indicated that the tia was related to the patient noncompliance of medication.An assignable cause of anticipated procedural complication will be assigned to the reported event as a product related root cause does not apply and the issue is due to a known physiological effect of the procedure and/or patient condition noted with the directions for use, product labeling and/or risk documentation files.H3 other text : device remains implanted in patient.
