One (1) used sample #011-h3407 (connected with a 0.9% sodium chloride 250ml bag) was returned for evaluation 3/13/24.As received the set and the filter were observed to be broken at exit port.No additional damage or anomalies were observed.The set was primed and a stream of water from the broken filter port was confirmed.Complaint of leaks can be confirmed based on the stream of water coming from the broken port.The probable is due to unintentional bending force applied during use.The lot history was reviewed and no nonconformities were identified that may have contributed to the reported compliant.Correction to h3 initial emdr stated that device problem already known, no evaluation necessary - this was an error and should have been 'other'.
