This f/u report is submitted to fda in accord with applicable regulations, and as indicated by terumo cardiovascular systems in the initial report submitted to the fda on (b)(6) 2015.The complaint was confirmed upon completion of the investigation.Visual inspection confirmed that the water outlet port was damaged; however, no additional damage was observed.A retention sample was visually inspected, and no anomalies were noted.A review of the device history record revealed no production related anomalies.The product is 100% visually inspected during manufacturing.The damage to the port was likely due to shock force post manufacturing; however, the cause of the damage is unknown.Because the plastic is thin at that point and appeared to be flattened, it can appear to look like melting.All available info has been placed on file in quality management for appropriate tracking, trending and f/u.
