Exemption number e2019001.Product performance engineering reviewed the complaint information and analysis of the returned unit.Visual and dimensional inspection was performed.The reported irregular position of the flush port was not confirmed.However, foreign material was observed.A review of the lot history record revealed no manufacturing nonconformities that would have contributed to this complaint.The investigation determined the foreign material inside the unopened pouch appears to be related to a potential product quality issue.An exception has been initiated due to the potential product quality issue and corrective action, if any, will be determined per internal operating procedures.Abbott vascular will continue to trend the performance of these devices.
