(b)(4).Complaint verification testing could not be performed as no sample was returned for analysis.From the picture attached it was confirmed the defect reported by the customer "broken/cracked - 15mm connector".However, it is necessary to receive the physical sample to perform a proper investigation, determine root cause & implement corrective actions.A device history record review was performed, and no relevant findings were identified.Without the device to evaluate the complaint could not be confirmed and the probable cause could not be determined from the available information.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.If the sample becomes available at a later date a follow up report will be submitted with investigation results.
