The device history record (dhr) could not be reviewed as the serial number was provided within the complaint.Prior to a lot¿s release, the lot must be deemed acceptable by passing inspections that are based on a valid sampling plan.During production, inspectors routinely examine a statistical sample both physically and visually.There were no samples returned for evaluation therefore the affected device could not be physically evaluated.However, photos were provided.The photos were inspected, and the reported condition was confirmed.Based on all available information, a definitive root cause could not be determined.However, it is important to note that based on the provided information, the tube had been in the patient for more than 50 days which is beyond the recommended 28 days noted in the instructions for use (ifu).We will continue to monitor related reports to determine if additional actions are necessary.
