    (B)(4). INVESTIGATION SUMMARY: THE EVENT UNIT WAS RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. ENGINEERING ACTUATED THE UNIT AND DETERMINED THAT THE UNIT FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. THE CLIPS WERE FIRED OFF ONE AT A TIME AND CONFORMED TO ALL SPECIFICATIONS. ENGINEERING ACTUATED THE UNIT AT DIFFERENT ANGLES ON TUBING TO ATTEMPT TO REPLICATE THE CUSTOMERS' EXPERIENCE OF CLIPS SCISSORING. THE UNIT WAS DISASSEMBLED FOR FURTHER EVALUATION AND MET ALL SPECIFICATIONS. THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE SCISSORING EXPERIENCED BY THE CUSTOMER MAY HAVE BEEN THE RESULT OF THE APPLICATION STRUCTURE SIZE OR THE LOCATION OF THE VESSEL WITHIN THE CLIP, WHICH PREVENTED PROPER CLIP CLOSURE. ENGINEERING WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE CLIP MISALIGNMENT AT ADVERSE APPLICATION ORIENTATIONS. ALL CLIP APPLIERS UNDERGO 100% VISUAL AND FUNCTIONAL INSPECTION DURING THE MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLY PROCESS. AS A PART OF THIS PROCESS, EACH UNIT IS INSPECTED FOR CLIP FEEDING AND CLOSURE DURING MANUFACTURING PRIOR TO PACKAGING. IN ACCORDANCE TO 21 CFR 803.56, IF WE OBTAIN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, WHICH WAS NOT KNOWN OR WAS NOT AVAILABLE WHEN THIS REPORT WAS SUBMITTED, THEN THE SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE FDA.
