Additional information: h6 (component code, type of investigation, investigation findings, investigation conclusions).Results of investigation: the associated packaging was returned and evaluated.The visual inspection revealed that there is no glue residue on the second inner box.This inspection was conducted by naked eye.A review of the production order did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.However, a review made by the quality engineering team revealed that the vacuum packaging process is the most likely cause of the failure identified.A review of complaint history for the part number over the past 12 months and for the batch number based on historical data of the device did not reveal similar events for the listed device.A review of the risk management file revealed this failure mode was previously identified.The anticipated risk level is still adequate.A historical review concluded that there are no prior actions related to this product and event.According to the packaging sequence, the inner tray lid should be fully sealed to the inner tray and the outer tray lid to outer tray.At this time, we do have evidence to conclude that the product failed to meet specifications at the time of manufacture.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is indicated.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
