(b)(4).Complaint verification testing could not be performed as it was reported that the sample is not available for return.A device history record review was performed for notifications pertaining to incoming inspection, stock checks, and product returns.No concerns were noted.These instruments feature a removeable handle which must be properly reassembled.Removal of the handle is not required for cleaning and should only be performed by qualified technicians.Incorrect assembly of the handle results in failure to function and unexpected disassembly when the retaining tab is not correctly seated.Proper assembly can be easily confirmed by looking at the handle/tab and slot interface.The device has been validated for sterilization without disassembly.If the sample is received it can be reassembled and return to the customer.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.
