Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The reported event could not be confirmed, since the device was not returned for evaluation and no other evidence was provided.The provided details were forwarded to an hcp for review and statement ¿ [excerpts]: ¿i think that's all right.With the further diagnosis of breast cancer, it is possibly more related to this than to the nail.But since only a temporary medical intervention (eliquis) is necessary here, which can be discontinued in 6 months, the categorization is ok.¿ with given details no further technical statement could be given.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.A review of the device history was not possible because the lot number was not communicated.No corrective actions are required at this time.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.No indications of material, manufacturing or design related problems were found during the investigation.In case substantive information will become available in future that suggests otherwise we reserve the right to reopen the case.
