The actual device was not returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.Us importer's authorized service personnel checked the actual device unit at customer site on (b)(4) 2018.The technician found, prior to any servicing operation, the device to be working properly within specifications (cynosure's service report # (b)(4)).The us importer have done several attempts to contact the site in order to have detailed information relative to the patient and the treatment performed.Despite the numerous attempts performed the site was always unresponsive.Due to the impossibility to gather any information from the site it is impossible to evaluate if the treatment was performed as per clinical guidelines and if the patient was correctly evaluated in order to define if she has any pre-existing condition that could make her contraindicated to the treatment.The investigation carried out did not conclude that a design deficiency or device malfunctioning was responsible for causing the event.Based on the fact that the site was unresponsive it is impossible to evaluate if the physician have performed the pre-treatment evaluation (evaluation of the patient in order to define if any pre-existing condition is present that made the patient not suitable for the treatment) and if the device was used off-label.That said is impossible to define if a user error/misuse of the device have contributed to the event.By manufacturer's investigation the operator's manual and risk analysis are adequate.Device working within specifications.No remedial action required.This initial report is to be considered as final report, unless fda has further questions.
