On january 24, 2024, device evaluation was completed.Device evaluation summary: mentor conducted a visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.During visual analysis of the returned sample sal siltex rnd diap pkg 425cc revealed a tear on the anterior view, at the union between the shell and the valve.Microscopic examination was performed, and the cause of the tear could not be identified.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number, and no non-conformances were identified.Although no conclusion could be reach on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: according with the product insert data sheet, the valve system can be damaged by improper use of the fill-tube stylet.Care should be taken that the stylet enters the valve smoothly.Use the thumb and forefinger to stabilize/support the valve seat and gently push the stylet tip into the valve opening.Overstressing the valve material may result in punctures or tears and subsequent deflation may occur.Use only the fill tube stylet provided with this product.Take care not to puncture the diaphragm valve or the shell with the stylet tip.Care must also be taken when the fill tube stylet is removed to prevent damage to the valve assembly.A second product was received (lot: 6906447).No adverse events were reported for this concomitant (contralateral) device, therefore no further analysis is required.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.No corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals is conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
