The transmitter (s/n (b)(6)) remains implanted inside the patient.The device has not been received for analysis.A review of the lot history record for the transmitter lot p250054 was performed and it identified that there were no process related non-conformances, scrap, or rework performed during the production that could explain the event.A risk review was completed and confirmed that the event of infection was defined in the risk documentation, which has been accounted for during product risk analysis to support acceptable risk benefit for the product.The "known inherent risk" conclusion code was selected based on the field report of infection or infection-related conditions.Infection is a known medical risk when the skin barrier is breached.Analysis of the returned product is not able to provide relevant information for infection-related allegations.
