Manufacturer Narrative

The phacoemulsification (phaco) handpiece (hp) was received, and a visual assessment of the returned sample revealed that the phaco handpiece was third party repaired.The cable strain reliefs (attached to the hp at one end and the console connector at the other) did not match the specified product design color or include the manufacturer logo on the connector strain relief.Functional testing was not performed on this phaco handpiece per company standard operating procedure (sop), which states, ¿no functional testing is required to be performed if the phaco handpiece is found to have been third party repaired.¿ connection to the dynamic test fixture (dtf) revealed the serial number programmed on the electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (eeprom) during manufacturing of the handpiece did not match the serial number on the handpiece shell.A third party repaired phaco handpiece is no longer a company¿s product.A phaco handpiece manufacturing device history record (dhr) review was performed prior to product release to ensure that the product was manufactured in compliance with the device master record.Based on the assessment, the product met release criteria.A review for complaints reported against this lot/batch/serial number was performed.No similar complaints were reported for the product lot/batch/serial under investigation.The product under investigation is not a serviceable device.Therefore, a service record review was not performed.The root cause cannot be determined conclusively.Manufacturer will continue to monitor data for evidence of adverse trending and take further action, as appropriate.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
