(b)(4).The device was returned for evaluation.Visual inspection was performed with no obvious defects noted.A functional test was then performed in which the device was spiked into an in-house, 1000 ml solution bag containing distilled water, reprimed, and observed for leakage.A leak was identified from the tubing just above the male luer.Microscopic examination of the leak site found a cut in the tubing approximately 0.5 inches above the male luer.The cause of the leak was determined to be the cut due to a machine error during the manufacturing process.In order to further investigate and address this condition, a capa was opened.A review of all batch record documents was performed with no issues noted during the manufacturing process.There were no deviations from standard procedure and no exceptions related to the reported condition were noted.Should additional relevant information become available, a follow up report will be submitted.
