Additional Manufacturer Narrative
A review of the device history record has been completed.No deviations or non-conformances noted.Further investigation: with the information collected during the investigation, there is enough evidence to support that device serial number (b)(4) was manufactured under controlled conditions in accordance with allergan procedures.Seal strength results were acceptable.Environmental monitoring results were found to be acceptable and they confirmed that there was not an adverse impact on environmental conditions, device quality or performance.The sterilization run is not related to any additional complaint infection record reported as of today.During the trend review of all infection complaints for tissue expander for the period of (b)(6) 2018 through (b)(6) 2020, were noted two outliers, (b)(6) 2019 and (b)(6) 2019.An additional analysis was performed to determine any pattern or any similarities relation between pr¿s involved.It was found that some primary packaging operators were involved in more than one occasion, however the people were trained in the corresponding procedure.Also, calibrations and maintenance of the equipment¿s involved in more than one occasion were reviewed and it was determined that they were performed on time and met specifications.In addition, all the records involved in this month were reviewed and no issues were found associated to either event.Given the fact that the cause of the infection cannot be specifically associated to the manufacturing process, and there is not an adverse trend for this type of event no corrective action is deemed necessary at this time.The event of "infection (unknown onset)" is a physiological complication and analysis of the device generally does not assist allergan in determining a probable cause for this event.Further information from the reporter regarding event, product, or patient details has been requested.No additional information is available at this time.Reason for reoperation: infection (unknown onset).Allergan did not submit this mdr within 30 days of becoming aware.Recent stimulated reporting related to 2011068-7/2/19-001-r has increased complaint and mdr volume.Allergan is implementing a plan to address the increased volumes.
