(b)(4).During processing of this complaint, attempts were made to obtain complete event, patient and device information.The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no similar incidents reported from this lot.A cause for the hair on the sgc device (foreign material present on device) cannot be confirmed.As it was confirmed that the hair was not identified prior to un-packaging and was noted after the device was removed from the packaging and prepared for use, it is possible that the hair was introduced during handling; however, this cannot be confirmed.Based on the information reviewed, there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to design, manufacturing or labeling of the device.
