This report has been identified as b.Braun medical internal report number (b)(4).One used sample was returned for evaluation.The sample was visually evaluated, and it was noted the backcheck valve was loose and not completely welded.A probable root cause of this defect is that the manufacturing process could have been interrupted during the activation of the sonic weld.Based on the results of the visual evaluation of the sample, the reported defect was confirmed.Exact root cause cannot be determined at this time, but user mishandling cannot be ruled out at this time.It is possible that excessive force on the part would lead to leakage.Since the lot information could not be provided for this incident, a batch record review and a historical review of the customer complaint database could not be performed.We will maintain this report for further references and continue to monitor other reports for similar occurrences.If any additional pertinent information becomes available, a follow up will be submitted.
