Sensor (b)(6) has been returned and investigated.Performed a visual inspection on the returned libre pro sensor patch.No issues were observed.The sensor applicator and container were not returned.Extended investigation has also been performed for the reported complaint and determined that there was no indication that the product did not meet specification.Dhr (device history review) for the libre sensor and libre sensor kit were reviewed and the dhrs showed the libre sensor and libre sensor kit passed all tests prior to release.Dose audit reports were reviewed and demonstrated the continued effectiveness of the established sterilization process for libre sensor kits.Environmental monitoring reports were reviewed including bioburden and endotoxin testing, and demonstrated that all monitoring processes continue to meet adc minimum requirements for product quality.All review activities conducted above, including but not limited to the final release testing specifically associated with the manufacture of this product, are sufficient information in order to show if the product has met specifications prior to release.
