Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).Method: the complaint 900mr810 adult heated wall reusable breathing circuit's were received at fisher & paykel healthcare (f&p) new zealand, where they were visually inspected and fault replication was attempted.Results: visual inspection of the complaint circuits confirmed that helix delamination had occurred near the chamber end cuff.Two of the fifteen circuits also had helix delamination near the patient end cuff.Two tests were run to attempt to replicate the helix delamination.First, a temperature test was run to determine if the use of pasteurization to clean the circuits could have caused the reported damage.A sample 900mr810 adult heated wall reusable breathing circuit was soaked in water at 90°c overnight to simulate pasteurization.This test did not replicate the reported event.Second, two 900mr810 adult heated wall reusable breathing circuit samples were intentionally pulled and twisted to simulate harsh handling.This test did not replicate the reported event.Conclusion: we are unable to determine the cause of the reported event.However, it is most likely caused by physical damage due to impact during transportation of the device.All 900mr810 adult heated wall reusable breathing circuits are visually inspected and pressure tested prior to being released for distribution.Any circuits that fail are rejected.This suggests the reported damaged occurred after the subject breathing circuit was released for distribution.The user instructions that accompany the 900mr810 adult heated wall reusable breathing circuit state the following: inspect circuit before re-use, do not use if the circuit shows signs of deterioration, such as cracks, tears, or damage"."perform a pressure and leak test on the breathing system, and check for occlusions, before connecting to a patient"."do not cover the circuit with materials such as blankets, towels or bed linen"."disconnect tube by handling end connectors only, do not pull or twist tubing, as this may cause damage".
