    THE HEMOPRO DEVICE WAS RETURNED TO THE FACTORY FOR EVALUATION. IT SHOWED SIGNS OF CLINICAL USAGE AND EVIDENCE OF BLOOD. A VISUAL INSPECTION DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY NON-CONFORMITIES THAT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE REPORTED EVENT. A PRE-CAUTERY TEST WAS PERFORMED ON THE DEVICE WITH A REFERENCE POWER SUPPLY AND EXTENSION CABLE; THE DEVICE PASSED THE PRE-CAUTERY TEST AS IT PRODUCED STEAM AND HEAT DURING SEVERAL ACTIVATIONS AND SHUT OFF WHEN THE TOGGLE WAS RELEASED. CYCLE LIFE TESTING WAS PERFORMED ON THE DEVICE; THE DEVICE PASSED THE (B)(4) CYCLES OF TESTING. THE DEVICE HANDLE WAS OPENED TO VERIFY CONNECTIONS; UNDER MAGNIFICATION, A SMALL AMOUNT OF SOLDERING FLUX WAS OBSERVED ON THE SWITCH BODY AND ACTUATOR OF THE MICRO SWITCH. NO NONCONFORMITIES WERE OBSERVED WITH THE SOLDER JOINTS. BASED UPON THE EVALUATION RESULTS, THE REPORTED COMPLAINT COULD NOT BE CONFIRMED. THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIVE ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN TO ADDRESS THE SOLDER FLUX ISSUE; MAQUET HAS REVISED THE WORK INSTRUCTION FOR THE SOLDERING PROCESS (B)(4) / HANDLE ASSEMBLY (B)(4) TO ADD ENHANCED VISUAL INSPECTION TO THE SOLDERING POINTS AND THE SWITCH CONTAMINATION WITH FLUX. MAQUET CARDIOVASCULAR LLC HAS INITIATED RECALL (B)(4) TO ADDRESS THIS FAILURE MODE. THE FDA (B)(4) DISTRICT RECALL COORDINATOR HAS BEEN ADVISED. A NOTIFICATION LETTER HAS BEEN SENT TO THIS CUSTOMER.
