Manufacturer Narrative

H3 device evaluation: evaluation with magnification found that there is a thin weld present.Root cause it attributed to the component diameters being too large, resulting in small seam chamfers that did not allow for enough filler weld, resulting in it being buffed off at finishing.Design changes were introduced in effort to prevent recurrence.Review of device history records found (b)(4) pieces of lot: 00075ptr were released for distribution on 10/9/2018 with no deviation or anomalies.Two-year complaint history review (3.24.2018-3.24.2020) found two previous reports of this nature for this lot.Product from this lot will be reworked.
