Event Description

Customer complaint reported as: we have noticed that several of our ventilator circuits from the same case are not passing the vent pre use check.The circuits feel different than they did previously and one of the pop off valves is quite loose, i am concerned it could directly impact volume we're delivering to patients on mechanical ventilation, thus having severe implications and the potential for a significant adverse event.No patient involvement reported.

(b)(4).The customer returned one 1613 ventilator tubing set for investigation.Upon receiving the circuit, it was visually examined for any signs of misuse/abuse/damage.No cracks or holes were found.No other obvious defects or anomalies were noted.All port caps were secure and nothing unusual was noted on how the circuit felt.The leak rate specification is governed by iso 5367:2014, annex e, which specifies adult circuit under 60 +- 3 cmh2o of air pressure, cannot exceed a leak rate greater than 70 ml/min.The circuit was hooked up to a leak tester and was leak tested under 60 +/- 3 cmh2o of air pressure.The tubing leaked at a rate of 11 ml/min, which is well below the acceptable iso limit of 70 ml/min.A device history record review was performed and no relevant findings were identified.The reported complaint of a leaking circuit was confirmed based upon the sample received.The returned circuit was confirmed to leak at 11 ml/min.This is well below the iso standard of 70 ml/min.Functional testing did not reveal any operational anomalies.
