The FDA definition is:
i Complaint means any written, electronic, or oral communication
that alleges deficiencies related to the identity, quality, durability,
reliability, safety, effectiveness, or performance of a device after it
is released for distribution.[/i]
The “alledges deficiencies” is the part I am having a problem with. I am looking for others opionions.
What is your concern? If a customer alleges your device is broken because it doesn’t turn on, it’s a potential deficiency until you investigate & find out he put the batteries in upside down. (Here though, maybe your instructions are insufficient and caused the user to put the batteries in upside down!) I think it allows the manufacturer the benefit of determining whether or not the complaint is a deficiency or not.
Thanks Vodon
