    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN RECEIVED ON 15JAN2020 THAT THE DOCTOR USED A DIFFERENT FREQUENCY HANDPIECE. THERE WAS A DELAY OF ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND THERE WAS NO PATIENT ADVERSE CONSEQUENCE/IMPACT AS A RESULT OF THE DELAY. ALSO, THE PRODUCT PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED DURING THE PROCEDURE. THE DEVICE WAS NOT RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. THE DHR DOCUMENTATION WAS REVIEWED AND NO ANOMALIES THAT COULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPLAINT INCIDENT WAS OBSERVED. A COMPLAINT INVESTIGATION AND DETERMINATION OF ROOT CAUSE IS NOT POSSIBLE. THE COMPLAINT COULD NOT BE VERIFIED BECAUSE THE PRODUCT SAMPLE WAS NOT RETURNED. BASED ON THE CUSTOMER REPORTED FAILURE ¿OVERHEAT¿ IT'S POSSIBLE THIS COMPLAINT WAS AS A RESULT OF OVER TORQUING OR DEFECTIVE TRANSDUCER. THE REPORTED COMPLAINT IS UNCONFIRMED. DEVICE IDENTIFIER: (B)(4). PRODUCT IDENTIFIER: (B)(6). BETWEEN 05NOV2019 AND 30JUN2020, APPROXIMATELY 2,200 MDRS SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY BY INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES VIA TRACKWISE, INTEGRA'S COMPLAINT HANDLING SYSTEM, WERE NOT RECEIVED BY CDRH DUE TO A COMPUTER SYSTEM ISSUE. WITHIN THIS TIME PERIOD, AN ERROR WITH INTEGRA'S MIDDLEWARE, WHICH FACILITATES COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN TRACKWISE AND THE FDA SYSTEM, CAUSED THE COMPLAINT RECORDS TO CLOSE AND INDICATE WE HAD RECEIVED AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 3 FROM THE FDA WHEN WE HAD NOT. INTEGRA INTERPRETED THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AS A SUCCESSFUL SUBMISSION; HOWEVER, SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 3 RECEIVED WAS FROM OUR MIDDLEWARE AND NOT FROM THE FDA (THESE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS HAVE BEEN RETAINED AS PART OF THE DOCUMENTATION OF THE MDR). THE MALFUNCTION WAS RELATED TO THE RELOCATION OF THE TRACKWISE APPLICATION TO A NEW DATA CENTER DURING THE TRANSITION OF INTEGRA'S CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS FROM PLAINSBORO, NJ TO PRINCETON, NJ. PREVIOUSLY, INTEGRA HAD BEEN SUCCESSFULLY RECEIVING ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 1, 2, AND 3 FROM THE FDA, AND OUR RECORDS REFLECT THESE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, INCLUDING THE DATE AND TIME STAMPS. CAPA PR 229048 AND NC 20-011 HAVE BEEN OPENED BY INTEGRA TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE THE NONCONFORMANCE AND DEVELOP A CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN. THE MIDDLEWARE ERROR HAS BEEN CORRECTED, AND INTEGRA HAS FILED MDRS SINCE THE CORRECTION AND VERIFIED THAT THE APPROPRIATE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FROM THE FDA. INTEGRA IS RESUBMITTING ALL IMPACTED MDR REPORTS FOR THE TIME PERIOD 05NOV2019 THROUGH 30JUN2020. INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES CONTACTED (B)(4), DIRECTOR OF REGULATORY PROGRAMS, OFFICE OF PRODUCT EVALUATION AND QUALITY AND (B)(4), ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, MDR TEAM, OFFICE OF PRODUCT EVALUATION AND QUALITY ON JULY 8-9, 2020 TO REPORT THESE ISSUES REGARDING MDR REPORTS.
