Manufacturer Narrative

A device history record review could not be performed because a serial number was not received with the complaint.However, as part of our manufacturing process, all device history records are reviewed and approved by quality prior to the release of product.All tubes must pass a 100% leak testing before being packaged and shipped.Photos were provided for evaluation.The photos show that the enfit connector had detached from the y-port assembly.The manufacturing process of y-port assembly was reviewed.A leak test is performed at the final inspection station and can detect the reported issue.The exact root cause of the reported issue could not be determined.The supplier of the y-port has implemented a corrective action to improve solvent dispensing and the y-port wing to increase the surface area for the bond.This complaint will be used for tracking and trending purposes.
