Plant investigation: the reported complaint was not confirmed as the complaint device was not returned for manufacturer evaluation.Although it was indicated the complaint device is available, no sample has been provided for evaluation.According to the third party carrier's website, the provided shipping materials were sent to the customer and subsequently received.In the event a sample is returned for evaluation at a later date, the complaint file will be updated accordingly.The reported complaint could not be confirmed, as a definitive conclusion regarding the complaint incident cannot be reached based on the limited information provided.A review of the production record was performed.The production record review showed there was one unrelated approved temporary deviation notice in the production of this lot.There was no indication of product non-acceptance or deviation in the manufacturing process related to the complaint event.This includes non-conformances, rework, labeling, process controls, and any other occurrence in production that was potentially related to the complaint.The reported lot number passed pyrogen testing, was within sterilization dosage parameters and passed all release criteria.Continuous improvement is of the utmost importance to fresenius medical care as we strive to provide dialysis products of the highest quality to our patients.Reports of leaking product are investigated both individually as complaints, as well as via the nc/capa program, in order to assess and improve our products and processes.Capas for vision systems and blood leak reduction are recent examples of leak related investigations directed at an overall reduction in dialyzer leaks.
