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 to confirm the reported failure.As such, a root cause could not be determined.Instructions for use state that the drain must not be allowed to become occluded nor the reservoir to completely fill, as all wound drainage ceases.If occlusion does occur, the drain can be aspirated by connecting suction to port b or by applying suction directly to the drain.If the reservoir is not emptied when it is full, the likelihood of back-contamination increases.No similar complaint has been received regarding this reported incident.We will continue to monitor related reports to determine if additional actions are necessary.
