Updated fields: d4, d9, g3, g6, h2, h3, h4, h6, h11.The hakim valve (id 823832) was not returned for evaluation as the product is not available for return as per customer; therefore, an evaluation of the device could not be performed.Lot number information has been provided; therefore, device history record (dhr) was reviewed, and no anomalies were found.The root cause(s) of the reported issue could not be determined however, the probable root cause for the issue reported by the customer could be due to inappropriate technique used resulting in catheter movement.If additional relevant information becomes available in the future, this complaint will be reopened, and the respective evaluation performed.Trends will be monitored for this and similar issues.At present, we consider this complaint to be closed.
