Further investigation results: with the information collected during the investigation, there is enough evidence to support that device 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.One additional complaint was noted for devices sterilized under the same sterilization run.However, it is unlikely that the events related to the reported infection are associated to the sterilization methods utilized.The terminal sterilization cycle used by allergan was developed and validated to achieve a high level of sterility assurance.The sterilization cycle has been validated to assure that the chance of a non-sterile device is less than one in a million.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.
