This follow-up report is submitted to fda in accord with applicable regulations.Upon further investigation of the reported event, the following information is new and/or changed: b5 (updated describe event or problem).D4 (additional device information - added exp date).G4 (date received by manufacturer).G7 (indication that this is a follow-up report).H2 (follow-up due to correction, additional information and device evaluation).H3 (device evaluated by manufacturer).H4 (device manufacture date).H6 (identification of evaluation codes 10, 11, 3331, 213, 67).Method code #1: 10 - testing of actual/suspected device.Method code #2: 11 - testing of device from same lot/batch retained by manufacturer.Method code #3: 3331 - analysis of production records.Results code: 213 - no device problem found.Conclusions code: 67 - no problem detected.The returned sample was visually inspected.It was noted to contain dried buffer within the threads of the large bore cap and there was a yellow cap in place of the sparger assembly.It was then leak tested (as received) by connecting with the calibrated manometer, submerged into a water bath, and pressurized up to 1030 mmhg, and no leaks were noted.The large blue cap was attempted to be loosened; however, the dried buffer that remained within the threads, left the large bore cap unable to be loosened.The unit was left to soak in di water for 24 hours.The large bore adapter blue cap was then able to loosened and re-tightened by hand.It was leak tested for the second time, and no leaks were noted.The root cause for this event was determined to be the large blue vent cap for shunt sensor was not fully tightened either during setup of the circuit, or after the gas calibration.When the large blue vent cap was loosened, it had not been re-tightened fully prior to use in the line, causing a leak from the cap.All available information has been placed on file in quality management for appropriate tracking, trending, and follow-up.
