Additional information provided in d9 and h3.Plant investigation: a sample has not been provided for evaluation.The third party carrier's website was reviewed and it was verified that the fmcna-provided shipping materials were sent to the customer and were subsequently received.The report could not be confirmed as a definitive conclusion regarding the complaint incident cannot be reached based on the information provided.A review of the production record was performed.The production record review showed there were multiple approved temporary deviation notices (dns) in the production of this lot.They are unrelated to the reported complaint event.There was no indication of product non-acceptance or deviation in the manufacturing process related to the complaint event.This includes non-conformances, rework, labeling, process controls, and any other occurrence in production that was potentially related to the complaint.The reported lot number passed pyrogen testing, was within sterilization dosage parameters and passed all release criteria.Continuous improvement is of the utmost importance to fresenius medical care as we strive to provide dialysis products of the highest quality to our patients.Reports of leaking products are investigated both individually as complaints, as well as via the nc/capa program, in order to assess and improve our products and processes.Capas for vision systems and blood leak reduction are recent examples of leak related investigations directed at an overall reduction in dialyzer leaks.
