We have received the device for evaluation and found that the centering hoop was not properly aligned against its retainer slot, which allowed one of the blades to remain exposed after retracting the hoops.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.
