Additional Manufacturer Narrative
We have not received the complaint device for evaluation and therefore the root cause could not be determined.Although the root cause was not determined, previous investigations into this issue have found that the centering hoop was likely not properly aligned against its retainer slot.The assembly process includes manual manipulation of each blade by the operator.Operator errors are possible due to the manual nature of the adjustments.Our review of the lot history records for this lot did not find any discrepancies either in the manufacturing or packaging process that could be related to this incident.A corrective and preventive action (capa) has been opened to address this issue.
