(b)(4).One (1) 311403 breathing circuit, anesthesia, adult, expiratory was received for evaluation.The components received: one dual limb collapsible circuit, one ventilator to heater jump line, one breathing bag.All pieces were visually inspected for any signs of abuse/misuse/damage.None were noted.The dual limb anesthesia circuit was connected with the proper hardware to a leak tester.Incoming air pressure was dialed in at 30 psi.The dialed in leak test pressure was set at 60 cmh2o, +/- 3.The final leak test value was established at 6.0 - 7.0 ml/min.The acceptable leak rate is set at maximum allowable 30 ml/min.The leak rate for the dual limb anesthesia circuit was well within the leak rate value.The jump line was also tested.Applying the same setup hardware and test values, the leak rate value for the jump line was established at 7.0 - 8.0 ml/min.The acceptable leak rate is set at maximum allowable 30 ml/min.The leak rate for the anesthesia jump line circuit was well within the leak rate value.Leak testing did not provide any conclusive evidence that the anesthesia dual limb vent circuit was leaking outside of the acceptable parameters.The complaint cannot be confirmed.No issues were found with the returned sample.
