Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Sientra complaint#: (b)(4).Sientra was able to perform investigation on lot/batch retained by the manufacturer and determined by r&d that the a-ring can become twisted when the device was under vacuum or can move during setup/transportation.Loss of vacuum or inability to generate vacuum leads to no risks of patient safety.The gasket design was updated to be an off the shelf round a-ring instead of a custom square gasket.Engineering study (b)(4) was performed and showed improvement in vacuum cycling.New design was implemented on (b)(6) 2023.It is most likely the root cause was the a-ring was out of position or possibly twisted not allowing for the lid to sit flush.This is a known issue and has been addressed.Sientra will submit a supplemental report in accordance with 21 cfr section 803.56 if additional information becomes available.
