Continued: e1: country: hong kong.Investigation evaluation: a product evaluation was not performed in response to this report because the product said to be involved was not provided to cook for evaluation.The report could not be confirmed.The device history record for the lot number said to be involved was reviewed.A discrepancy or anomaly was not observed with the product that was released for distribution.Investigation conclusion: a corrective action (capa) has been initiated to reduce occurrences of brush tip/coil spring detachment for cytology brush devices.The product said to be involved is included in the scope of the corrective actions.Prior to distribution, all cytomax ii double lumen cytology brushes are subjected to a visual inspection and functional testing to ensure device integrity.A review of the device history record confirmed that the lot said to be involved met all manufacturing requirements prior to shipment.Corrective action: a corrective action (capa) was initiated to further investigate device failure due to brush tip/coil spring detachment.The product said to be involved is included in the scope of the corrective action.A review of the complaint history was conducted.Based on this review, the likelihood of this type of report is rare.Quality assurance will continue to monitor for complaint trends.
