NO NON-CONFORMANCE REPORTS WERE GENERATED DURING PRODUCTION.

THE DEVICE WAS RECEIVED, THE INVESTIGATION COULD NOT BE COMPLETED, AND NO CONCLUSION COULD BE DRAWN, AS PRODUCT IS ENTERING THE COMPLAINT SYSTEM. DEVICE WAS USED FOR TREATMENT, NOT DIAGNOSIS. IF INFORMATION IS OBTAINED THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE INITIAL MEDWATCH, A FOLLOW-UP MEDWATCH WILL BE FILED AS APPROPRIATE.

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    A PRODUCT INVESTIGATION WAS COMPLETED: THE COMPLAINED DEVICES WERE FORWARDED TO THE RESPONSIBLE PRODUCT UNIT DEPARTMENT FOR EVALUATION. THE RECEIVED CONDITION WAS CLEAN WITH NO VISIBLE DAMAGES EXCEPT ONE SCREW (PART 494.540, LOT 9799776) IS BENT. PER THE TECHNIQUE GUIDE, THE MAXIMUM EXPECTED TEMPERATURE RISE DURING A MRI IS LESS THAN 6°C. BECAUSE HIGHER IN VIVO HEATING CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, CLOSE PATIENT MONITORING AND COMMUNICATION WITH THE PATIENT DURING THE SCAN ARE REQUIRED. IMMEDIATELY ABORTION OF THE SCAN IS RECOMMENDED IF THE PATIENT REPORTS BURNING SENSATION OR PAIN. THE RETURNED DEVICE CAN BE CONSIDERED AS SAFE AND FUNCTIONAL BUT THE COMPLAINT CAN BE RATED AS CONFIRMED AS THE PATIENT REPORTED BURNING PAIN DURING THE MRI PROCEDURE. ALL LISTED CONCOMITANT PARTS WERE STILL INTACT AND DO NOT SHOW ANY DAMAGES. NO INDICATION FOR PRODUCT RELATED ISSUE WAS FOUND. DEVICE WAS USED FOR TREATMENT, NOT DIAGNOSIS. IF INFORMATION IS OBTAINED THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE INITIAL MEDWATCH, A FOLLOW-UP MEDWATCH WILL BE FILED AS APPROPRIATE.
