Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was returned for evaluation.It was confirmed that there were nine patties rather than 10.A review of the dhr found no discrepancies.Root cause is likely due to operator error.The operator is required to inspect the front and back of the patties and also count the amount of surgical patties.Operators are trained to wrap each string onto a counting card to make it very visible and to confirm that there are only 10 surgical patties on the card.Retraining was initiated to address this issue.Trends will be monitored for this or similar complaints.At present, we consider this complaint to be closed.
