Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information provided in d.9., h.3., h.6.And h.11.No technical inquiries were received from the customer.One opened phacoemulsification tip (phaco tip) with a wrench, was received for the report.The sample was visually inspected and found to be nonconforming with phaco tip bent at cone to cannula transition area, wear observed on threads, back of flange, and nut corners consistent with threading on handpiece.A review of the device history record traceable to the reported lot number, indicates that the reported product was processed and released according to the reported product¿s acceptance criteria.The investigation conducted a non-conformance review of the reported lot number.No deviations were identified and all corresponding production release specifications defined in the device master record were met.Based on the evaluation of the information and materials received, the investigation was unable to identify the root cause or origin of the reported event.The returned sample is visually non-conforming with the bent tip; therefore, ultrasound tip was found bent, was confirmed; however, how and when the phaco tip became bent could not be determined.Most likely root cause is handling during placement of the phaco tip onto the handpiece.Additionally, no manufacturing-related deficiencies were found that potentially could have contributed to the complaint.As the root cause and its origin are inconclusive, further investigative or manufacturing actions are not warranted at this time.All phaco tips are 100% visually inspected by trained operators using 30x magnification during the manufacturing process.Receipt of additional relevant information or supporting materials will prompt a re-evaluation of the complaint investigation.Complaint data for all company products is reviewed monthly to monitor for adverse trends.During the last review, no adverse trends were observed for the reported product and event combination.Quality assurance has reviewed this complaint and will continue to monitor data for evidence of adverse trending and take further action, as appropriate.No further action warranted at this time.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
