Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Manufacturing review: the device history records have been reviewed and this lot met all release criteria.There was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.Investigation summary: a sample evaluation could not be performed as the samples were not returned therefore the investigation is inconclusive due to the fact that no sample was returned for evaluation.The root cause could not be determined based upon available information.It is unknown whether patient and/or procedural factors contributed to the event.Possible contributing factors include improper selection, improper dimensional design, effects of shipping and handling not accounted for; however, the lack of a returned sample prevented both confirmation of the reported event and identification of a root cause(s).Labeling review: a review of product labeling documents (e.G., procedural instructions, indications, warnings, precautions, cautions, possible complications, contraindications, nursing guide, and unit label) showed that the product labeling is adequate.(expiry date: 03/2020).
