    QUALITY INVESTIGATION WAS ALSO PERFORMED ON SEPTEMBER 22, 2015 FOR THE RETURNED PRODUCT. THE RETURNED PRODUCTS WERE CLOSELY EXAMINED. AN ANALYSIS ON THE RETURNED SAMPLES PROVIDED WERE INSPECTED AND DID NOT PERFORM TO OUR REQUIREMENT. OUT OF THE 25 UNITS RETURNED, 15 UNITS WERE CONFIRMED THAT THE INNER CANNULA WHITE HAD THE WRONG SIZE; MARKED WITH ID 7.0MM BUT THE INNER CANNULA IS MARKED WITH THE ID 7.5MM, WHICH DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO SIZE 7.0MM PRODUCT. THIS WARRANTS FURTHER ACTION AND A NON-CONFORMANCE. AN EVENT WILL BE OPENED AND THIS COMPLAINT WILL REMAIN OPEN UNTIL THE COMPLETION OF THE NON-CONFORMANCE. A BATCH REVIEW WAS PERFORMED AND YIELDED NO DEFICIENCIES DURING THE SEALING AND INSPECTION. THERE WAS NOT POTENTIAL OF MIXED SIZE AS THE LOT RETRIEVED FOUND NO 7.5MM AS ALLOCATED TOGETHER. REVIEW OF THE INCOMING RAW MATERIAL DID NOT REVEAL SIZE 7.5MM OF INNER CANNULA RECEIVED WITHIN THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME. CORRECTION DUE TO THE INITIAL MDR SUBMITTED JULY 30, 2015 MFR# 9611710-2015-00131 DID NOT CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING: FOLLOW UP INFORMATION RECEIVED ON JULY 28, 2015 STATING "OUR DISTRIBUTOR REPORTED (B)(4) DEFECTIVE DEVICES."
