    INVESTIGATION SUMMARY: BD HAD NOT RECEIVED SAMPLES OR PHOTOS FOR INVESTIGATION. THEREFORE, RETENTION SAMPLES FROM BD INVENTORY WERE EVALUATED AND NO ISSUES WERE OBSERVED RELATING TO OIL GEL DROPLETS, AS ALL SAMPLES MET SPECIFICATIONS. 4 RETAINED TUBES WERE DRAWN WITH HORSE BLOOD, MIXED, STOOD AT ROOM TEMPERATURE FOR 30 MINUTES, BEFORE BEING CENTRIFUGED AT 1300G FOR 10 MINUTES, USING AN MSE MISTRAL 1000 CENTRIFUGE. THE SUPERNATANTS WERE THEN DECANTED AND EXAMINED UNDER MAGNIFICATION FOR ANY SIGNS OF GEL GLOBULES. NONE WERE FOUND. BASED ON A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD FOR THE INCIDENT LOT, ALL PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR LOT RELEASE WERE MET. THERE WERE NO RELATED QUALITY ISSUES DURING MANUFACTURING OF THE PRODUCT. THIS COMPLAINT IS UNABLE TO BE CONFIRMED FOR OIL GEL DROPLETS. BD WAS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY A ROOT CAUSE FOR THE INDICATED FAILURE MODE.
