Manufacturer Narrative

One used partial monitoring kit w/03ml flush device for iowa methodist hosp was returned for investigation.The reported complaint of tubing separation was confirmed on the returned set.During visual inspection, the 36" pressure tubing was found separated from the safeset port.When the tubing was microscopically examined, insufficient solvent coverage was observed on the tubing.An insertion depth was observed between the tubing and the safeset port.The probable cause of the separation had occurred due to insertion depth and insufficient solvent coverage on the tubing and the safeset pocket during the manufacturing assembly process.The device history record (dhr) was reviewed and no nonconformities were identified that may have contributed to the reported complaint.D9 - date returned to mfg: 21-oct-2021.
