MAUDE data represents reports of adverse events involving medical devices. This maude entry was filed from a consumer report with the FDA on 2018-04-10 for NEUTROGENA? LIGHT THERAPY ACNE MASK 070501101247 manufactured by Kinseng Plastics Co. Ltd..
[105294689]
Device was used for treatment, not diagnosis. (b)(4). The power cord used to connect the mask to the activator was visibly damaged including significant twisting of the internal power cords. The damage to the cord appeared consistent with the consumer's allegation of a burn to the cord. Upon investigation of the returned product, it was noted that the probable cause of the burn was an electrical short resulting in heating of the power conductors. The burned/damaged section of the cord was removed and the non-damaged portions were re-connected. Once re-connected the cord was able to power the mask through a completed dose with no heating or burning occurring. The power cord from a new mask was cut to compare the condition of the power cables. It was determined that the cables were not twisted on a new mask as they were on the returned mask sample and therefore the cable may have undergone repetitive twisting after manufacturing. Additional investigation is being performed by the manufacturer. A review of the manufacturing records indicate the product met specification at the time of release. Based on the results of the manufacturing investigation and the evaluation of the returned sample, the damage to the cord occurring after the release of the product cannot be ruled out. If information is obtained that was not available for the initial medwatch, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.
