Event or Problem Description
A customer reported that, two ophthalmic irrigation and aspiration tips were broken.Procedure details and patient impact have not been provided.Additional information has been requested but is not available at the time of this report.This report pertains to second of two reports received from the same lot number.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information is provided in sections d.4, h.6 and h.11.A sample was not received at the manufacturing site for evaluation for the report of a broken tip; therefore, the condition of the product could not be verified.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.One photo attached was reviewed by the investigation site.The photo shows an opened blister with the same product and lot number as reported and a broken polymer tip.The observed damage is at the threads.The reported issue was confirmed; however, how and when the damage occurred cannot be determined from the photo evaluation.Based on the evaluation of the information and photo 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 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 manufacturer 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).H.10 reflects all related report numbers associated with this product event that have been submitted at this time.
