Manufacturer Narrative

Plant investigation: the actual device was returned to the manufacturer for physical evaluation.An external visual inspection was performed on the cycler with no physical damage noted.There were visual indications of dried fluid within the cassette compartment on the top cover.There was no visual indication of particulates found within the cassette compartment.There were no burrs or sharp edges in cassette area that may have punctured a cassette membrane.The as received simulated treatment of a total volume of 18500ml was performed and completed without any failures or problems.During the treatment, the amount of fluid in the pseudo-patient bag after each fill was weighed and recorded, and the weighed fill values in each cycle was compared with the treatment's programmed fill setting.The cycler weighed fill volume values were within tolerance.The cycler underwent and passed a system air leak test, valve actuation test, and the check functionality of the patient sensors.An investigation of the cycler mushroom heads verified that the surface conditions and alignments were within specification.An internal visual inspection identified evidence of dried fluid underneath the pump assembly on the bottom cover and under the front panel assembly.The cause of the dried fluid could not be determined.A review of the device manufacturing records was conducted by the manufacturer.There were no deviations or non-conformances during the manufacturing process.In addition, a device history record (dhr) review was performed and verified that the results of the in-progress and final quality control (qc) testing met all requirements.Upon completion of the evaluation, there were no malfunctions that could have caused or contributed to the reported event.The cycler performed as designed and an associated cause could not be determined.
