    THE CLEAR + BRILLIANT TREATMENT TIPS DO NOT DELIVERY ANY ENERGY AND NO TREATMENT DATA IS STORED ON THE TIP ITSELF; THERE IS NO INFORMATION TO GATHER FROM THEIR RETURN. THE EXCEPTION TO THIS WOULD BE IF THE CLEAR + BRILLIANT TIP PLASTIC HOUSING OR COMPONENT SCRATCHED THE PATIENT. FOR OTHER REPORTED EVENTS, TIPS ARE NOT A VIABLE SOURCE OF EVALUATION DATA. THE SYSTEM HAS NO SYSTEM/DATA LOGS THAT CAN BE REVIEWED. THE END-USER DID NOT AND DOES NOT PERFORM THE BURN PATTERN PAPER TESTS. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THIS ACTION BE PERFORMED PRIOR TO TREATMENTS TO CONFIRM THE SYSTEM LASER IS PROVIDING CORRECT PATTERN/COVERAGE. THE USER FACILITY SAID THEY MIGHT CONSIDER PERFORMING THIS ACTION FOR FUTURE TREATMENTS. THE SYSTEM HAS SOFTWARE SAFEGUARDS (SUCH AS A POWER ON SELF-TEST) THAT WILL TRIGGER ERROR/EVENT CODES SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE OUTSIDE OF ACCEPTABLE LIMITS. THE CUSTOMER CAN ALSO UTILIZE THE BURN PAPER TO CONFIRM THE SYSTEM LASER IS PROVIDING THE CORRECT PATTERN/COVERAGE. THE CUSTOMER DID NOT PERFORM THE REQUESTED BURN PAPER TEST; THUS, PROPER PATTERN/COVERAGE CANNOT BE VERIFIED. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CUSTOMER TO PERFORM THE BURN PAPER TEST AND SUBMIT IT FOR REVIEW. ACCORDING TO THE CLEAR + BRILLIANT USER MANUAL AND HAZARD ANALYSIS, BLISTERS AND PINPOINT BLEEDING ARE KNOWN POTENTIAL ADVERSE REACTIONS TO TREATMENT. PINPOINT BLEEDING/PETECHIAE ALTHOUGH RARE, MAY OCCUR AND TYPICALLY SELF-RESOLVE WITHOUT SEQUELAE. BASED ON THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION, NO CAUSAL FACTORS CAN BE DETERMINED, AND NO CONCLUSIONS CAN BE DRAWN. NO NON-CONFORMITIES OR ANOMALIES FOUND RELATED TO THIS COMPLAINT WHEN REVIEWING THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD. THE LOT HISTORY, TREND ANALYSIS, RISK ANALYSIS AND DIRECTIONS FOR USE REVIEW WERE CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE, WITH THE PRODUCT PERFORMING WITHIN ANTICIPATED RATES. AT THIS TIME, NO CAPA IS NECESSARY.
