Please note the corrections made to d4 lot#, h6 device code: the reported event could be not be confirmed since the device was not returned for evaluation and no other evidences were provided.More detailed information about the complaint event as well as the affected device must be available in order to determine the root cause of the complaint event.Due to the lack of evidence and further information it was not possible to determine the root cause of the reported event.The batch record and the raw material certificate could not be reviewed because the lot # communicated by the customer is non-existent.Furthermore, there is no lot # similar to "vd5whh" related to the catalog # 5573-c-3202.It was concluded that a mistake was most probably made by the customer, who communicated a wrong information.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.Indications of material, manufacturing, or design related problems were unable to be identified as the correct lot number could not be identified.If the device is returned or if any additional information is provided, the investigation will be reassessed.
