Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).Evaluation summary: the device was returned for evaluation spiked into a full admixed b braun 500 ml solution bag.The visual inspection noted that the tubing was full of blood and the labeling incorrectly indicated that the spike was a non-vented spike (labeled by the facility).Functional testing was unable to be performed as the sample was contaminated with a chemotherapeutic solution.Although blood was identified in the tubing, the reported backflow condition was unable to be verified.It is to be noted that this device does not contain a check valve to prevent backflow, and backflow may occur due to an incorrect setup.A review of all batch record documents was performed with no issues noted during the manufacturing process.There were no deviations from standard procedure and no exceptions related to the reported condition were noted.Should additional relevant information become available, a supplemental report will be submitted.
