The associated device, used in treatment, was not returned for evaluation and the reported event could not be confirmed.The engineering evaluation could not confirm the stated failure mode.The evaluation determined that all parts of the design were within visionaire standards.No root cause could be found for the complaint.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 have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A review of the risk management file and instructions for use documents revealed this failure mode was previously identified.Some potential probable causes for this event could include surgical technique or a procedural variance.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Without the return of the actual product involved, our investigation could not proceed.Should the device or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
