Device evaluated by mfr: the product was received in for evaluation; however, the tidi engineering team needs more time for further investigations.Therefore, this report is based solely on the information provided by the customer.A device history record (dhr) of the affected serial number did not reveal any issues that could have contributed to the reported incident.No ncrs were identified.The unit passed all verification testing and met manufacturing specifications prior to being released for distribution.Instructions for use (ifu) were reviewed and found to provide adequate instructions and warnings for safe and effective use of the device.The ifu states before each use, check cuffs and straps for cracks, tears, and/or excessive wear or stretch, broken buckles or locks, and/or that hook-and-loop adheres securely as these may allow patient to remove cuff.Discard if device is damaged or if unable to lock.Do not use this device with someone who has continued highly aggressive or combative behavior, self-destructive behavior, or deemed to be an immediate risk to others or to self.At this time, there is no evidence that a manufacturing non-conformity contributed to the reported complaint and the instructions for use (ifu) were reviewed and determined to provide adequate instructions and warning for the safe and effective use of the device.Therefore, no corrective or preventative actions are necessary.All complaints are trended and reviewed by management on a monthly basis.As part of this monthly review, any excursion above the control limits for this failure mode will be assessed, documented and acted upon as warranted.Manufacturer reference file: (b)(4).

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The engineering investigation did not find any indications to suggest that the reported issue was related to a manufacturing process.The device history record (dhr) of the affected lot number revealed that there were 180 pairs of restraints being produced as finished goods.Based on the lot size and acceptable quality level (aql) 4.0, eleven pair of restraints (22 data points) were pulled from the inventory in an effort to replicate the stitching or seam separation.All sample products were tested for tensile strength failures using a calibrated pull tester.The force reading after the box x stitching (square tacks) were separated was ranging from 407.10 to 616.38 lbs.With an average of 531.66 lbs.Indicating that all sample passed the minimum force requirement of 300 lbs.The box x stitch has been identified as the failure, but no determination on a root cause could be reached based on the returned product and the tensile testing performed.Instructions for use (ifu) were reviewed and found to provide adequate instructions and warnings for safe and effective use of the device.The ifu states before each use, check cuffs and straps for cracks, tears, and/or excessive wear or stretch, broken buckles or locks, and/or that hook-and-loop adheres securely as these may allow patient to remove cuff.Discard if device is damaged or if unable to lock.Do not use this device with someone who has continued highly aggressive or combative behavior, self-destructive behavior, or deemed to be an immediate risk to others or to self.At this time, there is no evidence that a manufacturing non-conformity contributed to the reported complaint and the instructions for use (ifu) were reviewed and determined to provide adequate instructions and warning for the safe and effective use of the device.Therefore, no corrective or preventative actions are necessary.All complaints are trended and reviewed by management on a monthly basis.As part of this monthly review, any excursion above the control limits for this failure mode will be assessed, documented and acted upon as warranted.Manufacturer reference file (b)(4).
