Additional Manufacturer Narrative
A sample was not received at the manufacturing site for evaluation for the report of the i/a tip missing the polymer tip; however, the attached customer photo confirms the reported issue of a missing polymer tip.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.The photo evaluation confirms that the i/a tip is missing the polymer tip; however, a sample was not returned for evaluation.Based on the evaluation of the information received, the investigation was unable to identify the root cause or origin of the reported event.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 i/a tips are 100% visually inspected prior to being released from the manufacturing facility.Receipt of additional relevant information or supporting materials will prompt a re-evaluation of the complaint investigation.Complaint data for all manufactured 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).
