Plant investigation: the reported complaint was not confirmed as the complaint device was not returned for manufacturer evaluation.A photograph was provided by the clinic.The photograph depicts a dialyzer connected to an hd machine with blood present in the dialyzer header area outside the fiber bundle.A production records review was performed on the reported lot.An investigation of the device history records (dhr) was conducted by the manufacturer.There was one approved temporary deviation notice (dn) reported on the lot which was unrelated to the complaint 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.
