Hakim valve (id 823111) was not returned for evaluation and lot number information has not been provided; therefore, an evaluation of the device could not be performed, and device history record (dhr) could not be reviewed.The root cause(s) of the reported issue could not be determined.However, a possible root cause for the issue could be due to galvanic corrosion or stator dislodges due to the valve receiving a hard knock.If additional relevant information becomes available in the future, this complaint will be reopened, and the respective evaluation performed.Trends will be monitored for this and similar issues.At present, we consider this complaint to be closed.
