H6: investigation summary : our quality engineer inspected the samples and photographs submitted for evaluation.Bd received two unopened units and four photographs for investigation.Through the visual/microscopic evaluation the septum of the q-sytes displayed a yellow tint or discoloration.There were no other anomalies or damage observed with the q-syte unit.The reported issue was confirmed.Although the reported issue was confirmed, we are unable to determine an exact root cause.Discoloration of the q-syte septum may be raw material related; however, no quality issues were found for the inspections of the raw material lots used in the q-syte production.During the q-syte manufacturing process discoloration of the septum may occur during the adhesive curing process if the part remains in the oven beyond a set time.There is an automated rejection set for the parts that are left in the oven beyond prescribed time period.Quality records have been consulted for tracking and trending purposes and this was the first occurrence of this failure mode.Sterilization of the device is not commonly associated with discoloration of the septum however there is a small likelihood that discoloration may occur.No quality issues or process deviations were found.During handling/storage of the product discoloration may occur.The storage conditions of the product may have resulted in discoloring of the septum as revealed by the possible uv light discoloration during manufacturing.Complaints received for this device and reported condition will continue to be tracked and trended.Information will be captured on trend reports and monitored.A device history record was reviewed.
