Block b3:
approximated based on the date the manufacturer became aware of the event.Block d2b: subsequent pro code

block d4, h4:
detailed product information was not provided to bsc.We completed a good faith effort to obtain the information.Because the product is unknown at this time, we are unable to provide the complete unique identifier (udi) # and other product specific information.If additional details become available, a supplemental report will be submitted.Block h6:
imdrf device code a050401 captures the reportable event of air water button leaking.Block h11:
investigation summary:
based on the available information, boston scientific was unable to confirm the reported events of a/w valve fluid leak and suction valve suction issue because the device had been disposed of.However, an engineering review was conducted, it was determined that the flow issue/continuously routes water over lens was likely caused by inadequate material selection, geometry, and design verification of the orca 4-tab one way seal (ows) component.Device technical analysis:
the device was not returned; therefore, technical analysis could not be performed.Investigation conclusion:
this device was not returned for investigation.As such, physical analysis has not been conducted in our laboratory.However, an engineering review was conducted.This review determined that the (flow issue/continuously routes water over lens) was likely a result of inadequate material, geometry, and design verification of the orca 4-tab one way seal (ows) component.An investigation to address this problem is in progress.The root cause of the reported (suction valve suction issue/fluid leak) could not be established in absence of returned device analysis.
