Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Plant investigation: the reported complaint was not confirmed as the complaint device was not returned for manufacturer evaluation.A production records review was performed on the reported lot.An investigation of the device history records (dhr) was conducted by the manufacturer.There were two document supplements (dss) noted on the lot.Both dss were for wording changes on the batch production record (bpr) and are unrelated to the reported event.There was no indication of product nonacceptance, deviation, non-conformance, rework, labeling or process control failure during the manufacturing process which could be associated with the reported event.The lot met all release criteria.A definitive conclusion regarding the complaint incident cannot be reached without physical examination of the actual device.Therefore, the complaint is not confirmed.
