    (B)(4). IT IS INDICATED THAT THE DEVICE IS NOT RETURNING FOR EVALUATION; THEREFORE A FAILURE ANALYSIS OF THE COMPLAINT DEVICE COULD NOT BE COMPLETED. A REVIEW OF THE LOT HISTORY RECORD REVEALED NO NON-CONFORMANCES THAT WOULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE REPORTED EVENT. THE RESULTS OF THE QUERY OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS IN THE COMPLAINT HANDLING DATABASE FOR THIS LOT DID NOT INDICATE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. BASED ON THE REVIEWED INFORMATION, NO PRODUCT DEFICIENCY WAS IDENTIFIED. IN ADDITION, 20 UNUSED, STERILE BALANCE MIDDLE-WEIGHT GUIDE WIRES WITH THE SAME PART AND LOT NUMBER (1001780JS / 4100371) AS THE COMPLAINT DEVICE WERE RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. FUNCTIONAL TESTING WAS PERFORMED AND THE DEVICES PASSED WITH ACCEPTABLE RESULTS. NO MANUFACTURING OR ABNORMAL OBSERVATIONS WERE DETECTED. A CAUSE FOR THE REPORTED EXPERIENCE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED BASED ON THE INVESTIGATION FINDINGS FROM THE TESTED SAMPLE. THE UNUSED RETURNED DEVICES DID NOT SHOW ANY INDICATION OF DEFICIENCY.
