The device history record (dhr) could not be reviewed as no lot information 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 evaluated.As such, a root cause for the reported event could not be determined at this time.We will continue to monitor related reports to determine if additional actions are necessary.
