    (B)(4). THE CUSTOMER RETURNED ONE OPENED POUCH OF PRODUCT 5-10406 FROM LOT# 73K1400325 FOR INVESTIGATION. THE RETURNED ET TUBE WAS VISUALLY EXAMINED WITH & WITHOUT MAGNIFICATION. VISUAL EXAMINATION REVEALED THAT THE ET TUBE APPEARS TYPICAL WITH NO OBSERVED DEFECTS OR ANOMALIES. THE RETURNED ET TUBE WAS MEASURED FROM THE DISTAL TIP OF THE TUBE TOWARDS THE MACHINE END USING A CALIBRATED RULER (C05158). THE MARKINGS WERE OBSERVED TO BE INCONSISTENT WITH THEIR PLACEMENT ALONG THE TUBE. WHEN PLACED AGAINST THE RULER 8 CM LINES UP IN THE CENTER OF THE '8' MARED ON THE TUBE, 10 CM LINES UP BETWEEN THE '1' AND '0', 11 CM LINES UP AT THE END OF THE SECOND '1', 13 CM LINES UP AT THE END OF THE '3', 14 CM LINES UP APPROXIMATELY 1 MM AFTER THE '4' AND 15 CM LINES UP APPROXIMATELY 1 MM AFTER THE '5'. THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD INVESTIGATION DID NOT SHOW ISSUES RELATED TO COMPLAINT. THE IFU FOR THIS PRODUCT WAS REVIEWED AS A PART OF THIS COMPLAINT INVESTIGATION. THE IFU FOR THIS PRODUCT STATES "THE MARKINGS DEFINE THE DISTANCE FROM THE TIP OF THE TUBE, ACCURATE TO +/- 1 CM." OTHER REMARKS: A CORRECTIVE ACTION IS NOT REQUIRED AT THIS TIME AS THE RETURNED PRODUCT WAS FOUND TO BE WITHIN SPECIFICATION AS THE MARKERS ARE LINED UP WITHIN 1 CM WHEN COMPARED TO A CALIBRATED RULER. THE REPORTED COMPLAINT OF MARKINGS ON THE ET TUBE ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITH MEASUREMENTS ON A RULER WAS CONFIRMED BASED ON THE SAMPLE RECEIVED. ALL OF THE MARKINGS DID NOT FALL IN LINE WHEN COMPARED TO A CALIBRATED RULER. HOWEVER, PER THE IFU FOR THIS PRODUCT, 88445-12, "THE MARKINGS DEFINE THE DISTANCE FROM THE TIP OF THE TUBE, ACCURATE TO +/- 1 CM." NONE OF THE MARKINGS WERE OFF BY MORE THAN 1 MM. THEREFORE, BASED ON THE SAMPLE RECEIVED, THERE WERE NO DIMENSIONAL ISSUES FOUND WITH THE RETURNED SAMPLE.
