The system was used for treatment.This case is reportable as a mdr due to the reportable malfunction centrifuge bowl leak/break.Since this reportable malfunction is only associated with the kit, this mdr will only be against the kit.A batch record review for kit lot k372 was conducted.There were no non-conformances associated with this lot.This lot met all release requirements.A review of kit lot k372 shows no trends.Trends were reviewed for complaint categories, centrifuge bowl leak/break and alarm #7: blood leak? (cent chamber).No trends were detected for these complaint categories.The product monitoring data is within control limits.The complaint kit and smart card were returned for evaluation.A review of the data on the smart card verified the occurrence of an alarm #7: blood leak (centrifuge chamber) alarm after 95ml of whole blood had been processed.An incomplete device was returned for investigation.The centrifuge bowl was not returned.The pump tubing organizer (pto) was the only kit component returned for evaluation.Inspection of the returned pto found no obvious manufacturing issues.The reported alarm #7: blood leak (centrifuge chamber) alarm was verified based on the smart card data and is consistent with a leak in the centrifuge chamber such as a centrifuge bowl break.However, the centrifuge bowl break could not be verified based on the available information.The root cause for the reported centrifuge bowl break could not be determined based on the available information.No further action is required at this time.This investigation is now complete.(b)(4) (b)(6) 2022.
