Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Visual inspection and functional testing could not be performed because the device in question will not be returned for evaluation.Thus, the complaint could not be verified and a root cause could not be determined with confidence.It is difficult to perform an accurate evaluation of a failure without having the failed product or the pertinent clinical details to consider.
