Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The returned device matched the report and the complaint failure mode was confirmed.Referring to product inquiry the guide wire, ball-tipped, sterile t2 tibia ø3x800 mm [packaging] is stated to be the primary product.No further associated products were reported.A review of the dhr revealed no discrepancies.Sealing seams and original packaging are still intact.Thus, the pollution must have occurred during the packaging process at our sub-supplier, which was not detected during inspection.Based on the above facts the root cause of the reported event is related to an inadequate packaging process / insufficient inspection specification.The found foreign material [like a hair] has to be classified as a non-conformance.Ncr was triggered for further root cause investigation.
