Manufacturer Narrative

The associated device and packaging was not returned. A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident. Based on the above evaluations there is no evidence that the nonconformity was due to a defect of the product, rather it is possible that the device was broken due to a strong mechanical-shock during transportation and the powder was leaking out. Without the actual product involved and/or device information, our investigation cannot proceed. If the device or new information is received in the future, this complaint can be re-opened. No further actions are being taken at this time. We consider this investigation closed.
