Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The reported event was inconclusive as no sample was returned for evaluation.The potential root cause for this failure could be "inappropriate package design".The device history record was reviewed and found nothing that could have caused or contributed to the reported event.A labeling review was not performed because labeling could not have prevented the reported failure.H11: section a through f - the information provided by bard represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bard.H3 other text : the device was not returned.
