    (B)(4) BATCH # 423A88. INVESTIGATION SUMMARY: THE PRODUCT WAS RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. VISUAL INSPECTION AND FUNCTIONAL TESTING WERE CONDUCTED ON THE RETURNED DEVICE. VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNED SAMPLE DETERMINED THAT ONE PSEE60A DEVICE WAS RETURNED WITH NO APPARENT DAMAGE AND WITH NO RELOAD PRESENT. THE DEVICE WAS RETURNED WITH A NON-WORKING FIRING MECHANISM. IN ORDER TO EVALUATE THE CONDITION OF THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS, THE DEVICE WAS DISASSEMBLED. UPON DISASSEMBLING, EVIDENCE OF CORROSION WAS NOTED ON THE MOTOR. NO FUNCTIONAL TESTING COULD BE PERFORMED DUE TO THE RETURNED CONDITION OF THE MOTOR. ONE POSSIBLE CAUSE FOR THIS CONDITION MAY BE EXPOSURE OF CLEANING SOLUTIONS. PLEASE REFERENCE THE INSTRUCTION FOR USE FOR MORE INFORMATION. AS PART OF ETHICON ENDO SURGERY¿S QUALITY PROCESS ALL DEVICES ARE MANUFACTURED, INSPECTED, AND RELEASED TO APPROVED SPECIFICATIONS. A MANUFACTURING RECORD EVALUATION WAS PERFORMED FOR THE FINISHED DEVICE LOT AND BATCH NUMBER, AND NO NON-CONFORMANCES WERE IDENTIFIED.
