Reported event ¿sound cap portions off and broke inside the cavity¿ was confirmed.Received one ia12-120lpi in unoriginal packaging.Lot number was not verified.Performed a visual inspection, the complaint was confirmed.The sound cap was broken.Root cause cannot be determined, however, based upon evaluation of the device and review of drawing, a possible cause of this event could be that sound cap is a thin piece of foam that can be easily damage while inserting devices.The manufacturing documents from the device history record have been reviewed with special attention to the manufacturing and inspection of the product.The product released for distribution was found to have met all specifications prior to shipment.This is the only complaint for this lot number and failure mode within the past two years.(b)(4).Per the instructions for use, the user is advised the following: if using the optional sound cap (8 mm, 12 mm): inspect sound cap foam and seal prior to use; use caution when inserting a sharp or large device through the blue sound cap seal; inspect the sound cap after use for physical damage of any kind.We will continue to monitor for trends through the complaint system to assure patient safety.
