A review of the device history record traceable to the reported lot number indicates that the product was processed and released according to the product¿s acceptance criteria.The returned sample was visually inspected and no obvious defects were observed that would have contributed to the reported event.A calibrated console was used to test the sample and the fluidics management system (fms) cassette primed and tuned with the ultrasonic handpiece successfully and could achieve maximum vacuum.No system message was generated, no fluid or air leaks, and no cracks were observed on the connectors that would have contributed to the reported event.The irrigation and aspiration flow rates were measured and found to be within specifications.Fluid flowed from the balance salt solution (bss) bottle to the irrigation and aspiration manifolds and continuously to the cassette housing.No occlusion or obstruction was identified during inspection and functional testing.The root cause of the customer's complaint could not be established as the returned fluidics management system (fms) cassette was evaluated and functioned per specifications.After investigation of this complaint, it has been determined that this sample functioned per specifications; therefore, no corrective action is required at this time.Based on our current tracking, there are no adverse trends for this reported complaint and lot.Quality assurance has reviewed this complaint and will continue to monitor data for evidence of adverse trending and take further action, as appropriate.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
