    INVESTIGATION SUMMARY: BD HAD NOT RECEIVED SAMPLES OR PHOTOS FROM THE CUSTOMER FACILITY FOR EVALUATION; THEREFORE, THE INVESTIGATION WAS LIMITED. A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD WAS COMPLETED FOR THE INCIDENT LOT AND, BASED ON THIS REVIEW, ALL PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR LOT RELEASE WERE MET; THERE WERE NO RELATED QUALITY NON-CONFORMANCES DURING MANUFACTURING OF THE PRODUCT. BD HAS INITIATED FURTHER INVESTIGATION RELATING TO THIS ISSUE THROUGH A CAPA. THE INVESTIGATION IS STILL ON-GOING AND IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE MADE AS THE POTENTIAL CAUSES OF THIS ISSUE ARE IDENTIFIED. INVESTIGATION CONCLUSION: AS NO SAMPLES OR PHOTOS WERE RECEIVED FOR EVALUATION, THE CUSTOMER'S INDICATED FAILURE MODE WAS NOT OBSERVED BY BD. HOWEVER, FURTHER INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN INITIATED THROUGH A CAPA. THE INVESTIGATION IS STILL ON-GOING AND IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE MADE AS THE POTENTIAL CAUSES ARE IDENTIFIED. ROOT CAUSE DESCRIPTION: ALTHOUGH NO SAMPLES OR PHOTOS WERE AVAILABLE FOR EVALUATION, BD HAS INITIATED FURTHER INVESTIGATION THROUGH A CAPA TO IDENTIFY THE POTENTIAL ROOT CAUSE(S). RATIONALE: BASED ON AN ASSESSMENT OF SEVERITY AND FREQUENCY, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A CAPA IS REQUIRED AT THIS TIME IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE ROOT CAUSE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE AND IMPLEMENT CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. THE INVESTIGATION IS CURRENTLY ON-GOING AND FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE MADE AS THE POTENTIAL ROOT CAUSE(S) ARE IDENTIFIED.
