Udi - not required for product code.Implanted date: device was not implanted.Explanted date: device was not explanted.510(k): k130520.The actual sample was received for evaluation.Visual inspection revealed that the lock adapter on the arterial side had been dislocated from the male connector.Magnifying inspection of the actual sample did not find any visible anomaly, including deformity, in the male connector or in the lock adapter.The dimensions of each part of the actual sample was measured and confirmed to be equivalent to those of a factory-retained current product sample.The male connector was subjected to elemental analysis of the surface using sem-edx (scanning electron microscope / energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy).The result showed the presence of na and cl.On the cock of the three-way stopcock, elements such as si, which is considered to be derived from silicone applied to it to for improving the lubricity, were detected.It is presumed that the presence of na and cl was derived from the priming liquid adhered to the male connector during usage.Reproductive testing was performed, and silicone was applied to a male connector of a factory-retained sample, then a female connector was attached to it and the lock adapter was tightened up.The result showed that the lock adapter could come off the male connector.The male connecter and the lock adapter of the sampling system fit with each other by the rib on the male connecter being caught with the stepped part provided inside the lock adapter.Due to this structure, once the lock adapter gets over the rib completely for some reason, it may come off the male connector.A review of the device history record and product release decision control sheet of the product code/lot# combination was conducted with no findings.Review of the current storage condition did not find any problem.Ifu states: do not use if the package or device is damaged (e.G.Cracked), or any of the port caps are off.Based on the provided information and investigation results, there is no definitive evidence that this event was related to a device defect or malfunction.It is likely that the sampling system components while stored in the container became overlapped by accident, and the silicone used for the cock part of the three-way stopcock was transferred to the male connector part.When the lock adapter was re-tightened, it got come off the male connector; the mating between the male connector and the female connector had been loose for some reason, the priming liquid slightly leaked became a lubricant.When the lock adapter was re-tightened, it got come off the male connector.However, the exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information.(b)(4).
