THROUGH THE 2019 FDA INSPECTION, IT WAS IDENTIFIED THAT WHILE AD-TECH WAS EVALUATING REPORTABILITY FOR ACTUAL EVENTS IN WHICH DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY HAD OCCURRED, AD-TECH HAD FAILED TO SUBMIT EVENTS IN WHICH A MALFUNCTION WAS REPORTED AND COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS INJURY IF THE EVENT WERE TO RECUR. AS PART OF THE INVESTIGATION, A TWO (2) YEAR RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW OF COMPLAINTS WAS PERFORMED TO DETERMINE WHICH COMPLAINTS REQUIRED SUBMISSION OF AN MDR. MDR-2183456-2019-00026 WAS SUBMITTED AS A CONSERVATIVE MEASURE DUE TO THE RECALLS TIED TO THIS ISSUE.
