Manufacturer Narrative

Based on the information reported, including no identification of the relevant lot number, a relationship between the event and strattice cannot be determined. Strattice as a contributing factor cannot be ruled out. Multiple attempts were made to gather additional information; however to date, no further information has been obtained. The device was not returned for evaluation as it was discarded and the lot number remains unknown; therefore internal investigation into the event could not be performed. If additional information is reported, a follow up adverse event report will be submitted. No further actions are required as a nonconformance could not be confirmed.
