    RECEIVED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON (B)(6) 2019 AND (B)(6) 2019 THAT STATED THERE WAS SPUTTERING AND SMOKE, BUT NO FLAME. THE USER HAD A SUPERFICIAL BURN INJURY DURING THE UROLOGY PROCEDURE AND IT IS UNKNOWN HOW THE INJURY WAS TREATED. THERE WAS NO MEDICAL INTERVENTION REQUIRED AND A SURGICAL DELAY (UNSPECIFIED TIME) WAS REPORTED TO CHANGE THE DEVICE. THE DEVICE WAS RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. THE EVALUATION VERIFIED THE COMPLAINT AS VALID. THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD FOR LOT NO. 120801 REVIEWED AND NO ANOMALIES THAT COULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPLAINT WERE OBSERVED. THE BURN OF THE PLASTIC PART IS THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE FORMATION OF AN ELECTRIC ARC, PROBABLY DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF HUMIDITY IN THE CONNECTION ZONE (CABLE NOT DRIED / BLOOD / TISSUES). AS THE HANDLE WAS RECEIVED WITH AN INSERT IN SHORT CIRCUIT , THE DEFECT COMES PROBABLY FROM THE USE OF TOO IMPORTANT VOLTAGE DESPITE OF RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE. BETWEEN 05NOV2019 AND 30JUN2020, APPROXIMATELY 2,200 MDRS SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY BY INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES VIA TRACKWISE, INTEGRA'S COMPLAINT HANDLING SYSTEM, WERE NOT RECEIVED BY CDRH DUE TO A COMPUTER SYSTEM ISSUE. WITHIN THIS TIME PERIOD, AN ERROR WITH INTEGRA'S MIDDLEWARE, WHICH FACILITATES COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN TRACKWISE AND THE FDA SYSTEM, CAUSED THE COMPLAINT RECORDS TO CLOSE AND INDICATE WE HAD RECEIVED AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 3 FROM THE FDA WHEN WE HAD NOT. INTEGRA INTERPRETED THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AS A SUCCESSFUL SUBMISSION; HOWEVER, SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 3 RECEIVED WAS FROM OUR MIDDLEWARE AND NOT FROM THE FDA (THESE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS HAVE BEEN RETAINED AS PART OF THE DOCUMENTATION OF THE MDR). THE MALFUNCTION WAS RELATED TO THE RELOCATION OF THE TRACKWISE APPLICATION TO A NEW DATA CENTER DURING THE TRANSITION OF INTEGRA'S CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS FROM PLAINSBORO, NJ TO PRINCETON, NJ. PREVIOUSLY, INTEGRA HAD BEEN SUCCESSFULLY RECEIVING ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 1, 2, AND 3 FROM THE FDA, AND OUR RECORDS REFLECT THESE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, INCLUDING THE DATE AND TIME STAMPS. CAPA PR 229048 AND NC 20-011 HAVE BEEN OPENED BY INTEGRA TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE THE NONCONFORMANCE AND DEVELOP A CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN. THE MIDDLEWARE ERROR HAS BEEN CORRECTED, AND INTEGRA HAS FILED MDRS SINCE THE CORRECTION AND VERIFIED THAT THE APPROPRIATE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FROM THE FDA. INTEGRA IS RESUBMITTING ALL IMPACTED MDR REPORTS FOR THE TIME PERIOD 05NOV2019 THROUGH 30JUN2020. INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES CONTACTED (B)(4), DIRECTOR OF REGULATORY PROGRAMS, OFFICE OF PRODUCT EVALUATION AND QUALITY AND (B)(4), ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, MDR TEAM, OFFICE OF PRODUCT EVALUATION AND QUALITY ON JULY 8-9, 2020 TO REPORT THESE ISSUES REGARDING MDR REPORTS.
