Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
This report is being filed to provide additional information.Investigation: per follow up, it was found that lot ban25-0016 was manufactured with two different vendor lots, having expiry of 01-aug-2018 on one lot and expiry of 01-nov-2018 on another lot.And since the kits are limited by the shortest shelf life, the overall expiration date for ban25-0016 is 01-aug-2018.The customer did not provide the lot number pertaining to this event, therefore a device history record (dhr) search could not be conducted for this specific incident.All lots must meet acceptance criteria before release.The harvest disposable set was unavailable for return and investigation.Harvest product kits contain multiple components that have various expiration dates.The outer kit label contains the expiration date associated with the component that has the shortest expiry timeframe.Correction: terumo bct customer support contacted the customer to discuss the importance of checking the expiration date on the set prior to the procedure and to retrain to avoid further use of expired kits.The customer declined the requirement for additional training.Root cause: based on the clinical findings, the use of the expired set was caused by an operator error.
