Manufacturer Narrative

A review of the device history records was performed for the indicated packaging and component lots for any deviations related to the reported defect of the complaint.The review confirms that the lots met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The recent angiodynamics complaint report was reviewed for the perceptor dts and manifolds product family and the failure mode "device air bubbles." no adverse trend was indicated.As received, the 3v manifold was returned with what appeared to be bio material {blood} inside and out.A visual inspection upon receipt was performed.It was noted during the visual inspection that the o-ring was missing from the rotating adaptor.The reported complaint description was confirmed for rotating adaptor (ra) leaking air.The root cause of the air leak was a result of a missing o-ring in the rotating adaptor assembly on the manifold.The root cause of this issue is operator error during the manual assembly process.This device non-conformance was not observed during the 100% visual inspection of the ra/o-ring post assembly.A department wide re-training for manufacturing associates who work in the manual manifold assembly area has been performed on the ra swaging procedure and visual inspections per angiodynamics' procedures.(pr20066).
