Additional Manufacturer Narrative
(b)(4).The customer returned one unit of 528135 visistat 35r 6/box for investigation.Multiple staples were observed to be misaligned at the back of the cover block.The bottom component was observed to not be welded at the back of the cover block, allowing the staples to become misaligned and out of position.The bottom component was able to move when pressed, indicating no proper welds on the back of the cover block.Functional testing was performed and the stapler was fired into the air, one partially formed staple released and no more staples would fire after that.The device was disassembled and minor die casting anomalies on the forming tool were also discovered.Per dhr the product visistat 35r 6/box lot # 73b2500531 was manufactured on 02/24/2025 a total of (b)(4) pieces.Lot was released on 02/27/2025.Dhr investigation did not show issues related to complaint.A corrective and preventative action (capa) was opened by the manufacturing site to further investigate this issue.The capa identified the probable root cause of the incorrectly positioned bottom as inadequate manufacturing controls surrounding the ultrasonic welding process of the bottom component to the cover block component.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend on complaints of this nature.
