The device was not received for investigation, but a photo was provided.The photo was reviewed and the reported condition was observed.The device history record could not be reviewed as no lot information was provided within the complaint.Prior to a lot¿s release, the lot must be deemed acceptable by passing inspections that are based on a valid sampling plan.During production, inspectors routinely examine a statistical sample both physically and visually.A gemba on-site inspection of the manufacturing process was performed and it was determined that the current process and controls were being followed correctly, including sub-assemblies, finished product assembly, packaging, and product inspections.No abnormal conditions were found that could continue to trigger the reported condition.A supplier corrective action request has been opened with the supplier to address the reported condition through a more thorough investigation.We will continue to monitor related reports to determine if additional actions are necessary.
