Bvi quality assurance has followed its internal procedure to conduct the appropriate complaint investigation.The investigation includes a review of the procedure / training record and device history records, and no anomalies were found.All required elements of the dhr were appropriately filled; all manufacturing operations were recorded; all signatures and dates were present, and the lot passed required inspections.The risk assessment has been performed and due to the fact that this complaint appears to be single and isolated for the specific model we consider the occurrence as remote and the severity risk level is still adequate.
