Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).The actual device has been returned to the manufacturing facility for evaluation.Visual inspection found the sampling line tube had a crack on the segment adjacent to the female connector.Water was flowed through the sample by gravity drop.A leak was noted at this crack.Magnifying inspection of the female connector revealed a flaw on the surface of the female connector and a crack on the tube at the joint to the connector.The crack was noted to be in the shape of a straight line.X-ray fluoroscopic inspection of the female connector revealed the flaw was a crack reaching the sampling line tube located inside the female connector.Simulation testing was conducted.A test sample was prepared by a sampling line tube being connected to a female connector sample and the female connector was exposed to shock force.Similar damage was generated on the female connector and the sampling line tube.X-ray fluoroscopic inspection of the female connector revealed not only the female connector but also the sampling line tube located inside the female connector had been cracked in the manner similar to the actual sample.A review of the manufacturing record and process release decision control sheet of the involved product code/lot number combination revealed no relevant findings.A search of the complaint file found no previous report of this nature with the involved product code/lot number combination.There is no evidence this event was related to a device defect or malfunction.While the exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information, it is likely the segment around the female connector was exposed to shock force which exceeded the product's strength limit.The device labeling does address the potential for such an event in the instructions-for-use (ifu) with statements such as the following: do not use if the package or device is damaged (e.G.Cracked) or any of the port caps are off.Do not use an oxygenator module that leaks.(b)(4).All available information has been placed on file in quality assurance at the manufacturing facility for appropriate tracking, trending and follow-up.
