THIS 3500A DOCUMENT IS A RESULT OF THE REASSESSMENT. THE COMPLAINT IS CONFIRMED. ONE UNPACKAGED AR-9676 SERIAL/BATCH NUMBER (B)(6) WAS RECEIVED FOR INVESTIGATION. FUNCTIONAL TESTING WITH THE RETURNED MATTING PART AR-9597-10, BATCH 37222223 FOUND RESISTANCE AND FRICTION. BOTH DEVICES ARRIVE SEPARATELY FOR INVESTIGATION.
