(3331/213) the device history records review concluded that there was no non-conformance / planned deviation in relation with the event reported.(10/170) the involved device was returned to intervascular for examination.A visual inspection was performed by the qa supervisor, it concluded that : -the defect found is confirmed, the prosthesis has yellow spots.These spots are similar to excess collagen which are routinely accepted according to the acceptance criteria defined in the pqsd1072-a-1 (defect code r3).This defect is an aesthetic defect.-in its current state the product should have been rejected, the non-conformity of the prosthesis comes from the fact that there are several excesses.However, it should be noted that the collagen turns yellow over time and is not necessarily visible at the qc step and that the excesses do not exceed the crimps of the product.(b)(4).(143) the conducted investigation concluded that the product involved was non-conform to the specification due to the presence of several collagen excesses which should have been rejected during the quality control (qc) step.This is an aesthetic defect.However, it should be noted that the collagen turns yellow over time and is not necessarily visible at the qc step.
