Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The device history record was reviewed and indicated that the product was released accomplishing all quality standards.One photo was provided for the investigation, but no physical sample was received.Without a sample we are unable to perform a thorough follow up investigation to include functional and visual evaluation to confirm the reported condition or determine if the device caused or contributed to the event.We also cannot determine the root cause(s) of the reported condition or implement any corrective action(s).If a sample should be returned at a later date this complaint will be reopened and the investigation updated to reflect our findings.While the complaint indicates that the device did not fall, from the review of the photo there seems to be some fluid caught in the top of the vessel.The manufacturing site tried to recreate the fault and the only way that fluid could get up into that section is to turn the vessel on its side or upside down.At this time, there is not enough information, and a corrective and preventative action (capa) will not be initiated.Functional testing and visual inspections are performed according to our current quality standards and inspection procedures.This complaint will be used for tracking and trending purposes.
