Manufacturer Narrative

This device was not returned to mmdg for evaluation.Because the pump was not returned an investigation was not possible.A dhr review was completed and found no non-conformances associated with the device.Because a rate and dose is being set while the pump is in use, the pump cannot overrun and pump air to the patient unless the user is not putting enough formula in the feeding set.The amount of formula being added to the set was not reported to mmdg.The bags also state on the label that they should only be used for 24 hours.This report is being filed because the event occurred while the device was in use by a pediatric patient.Per our procedures all reports of this type of event that involve a pediatric patient are considered reportable.

This device was returned to mmdg for evaluation,however, an investigation was not possible.A dhr review was completed and found no non-conformances associated with the device.Because a rate and dose is being set while the pump is in use, the pump cannot overrun and pump air to the patient unless the user is not putting enough formula in the feeding set.The amount of formula being added to the set was not reported to mmdg.The bags also state on the label that they should only be used for 24 hours.This report is being filed because the event occurred while the device was in use by a pediatric patient.Per our procedures all reports of this type of event that involve a pediatric patient are considered reportable.The complainant originally reported this issue and included the incorrect serial number (b)(4).The complaint actually occurred with pump serial number (b)(4).The pump was sent back to mmdg, however, the complainant asked that the pump be returned to them without any work or repairs performed.Mmdg was unable to perform an investigation and returned the pump to the complainant without a certificate of conformance and with a letter that states the pump should not be used, due to the refusal of service.
