Investigation summary: this parent investigation includes three complaints: (b)(4).All three complaints were received from the same hospital in a single call.An icu nurse called to report that the water in the water seal of three drains appeared grey instead of blue when she received their respective patients from the or.While speaking to the nurse, the getinge representative was able to ascertain that the supplied water ampoules had been used to fill the water seal chambers of each drain.They also confirmed that at least one of the drains had been tipped over, allowing drained fluid to move between chambers.A dhr review could not be completed because a lot number was not provided.The ifu provides adequate instructions for setup and use of the device.Complaint trending found that the actual occurrence level did not exceed the anticipated occurrence level.One excursion was identified for the complaint rate exceeding control limits in (b)(6) 2024, based on receipt of the three related complaints in the same month.A complaint history review was completed which found no similar complaints.A recurring lot number review could not be completed because a lot number was not provided.The information provided by the customer confirms the complaint.They provided a picture that shows the grey water in the water seal chamber.However, they confirmed that the drain had been tipped over and it could be seen in the pictures that drained fluid had moved between chambers.It is likely that the discoloration was a result of contamination by that fluid.However, the knock over was only confirmed for one complaint and the user reported having 3 drains with grey water in the water seal chamber.Without confirmation that all drains were knocked over, it cannot be known for sure that is the cause.No evidence was found to suggest that this issue was caused by manufacturing, materials, design, or labeling.The root-cause of these complaints is impossible to define.H3 other text : device not returned.
