Qn# (b)(4).The customer returned one sample of 1613 breathing circuit with bacterial filter.A visual exam was performed and no defects or anomalies were observed.A 22mm plug and ring gauge test was performed on the circuit and filter to check the dimensional requirements per iso-5356-1:2015 anesthetic and respiratory equipment - conical connectors - part 1: cones and sockets.A force gauge was used to apply 50 +/- 5 n of axial force to a 22mm fixture connected to the part under test.Results confirmed that all parts were within specifications.The filter was connected and disconnected to the breathing circuit and no significant differences were observed in the tightness of the connection.The reported complaint of a loose connection could not be confirmed.The sample passed all relevant visual, dimensional and functional testing.A device history record review was performed with no evidence to suggest a manufacturing related cause.Since all of the returned components were within specification, no defects were observed with the returned sample.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend on complaints of this nature.
