Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned for analysis.The reported leak was able to be confirmed.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents from this lot.It is possible that inadvertent mishandling during repackaging and/or during preparation for use resulted in the noted gap between handle halves; thus resulting in the reported leak; however this cannot be confirmed.The investigation determined a conclusive cause for the reported/noted difficulties cannot be determined.The noted multiple bends and kinks on the entire length of the shaft likely occurred due to handling or during packing for return analysis.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
