This follow-up report is submitted to fda in accord with applicable regulations ¿ and as indicated by terumo cardiovascular system in the initial report submitted to the fda on july 21, 2015.(b)(4).Upon completion of the investigation, the event was confirmed.The actual sample was visually inspected upon receipt and it was found that oxygenator subassembly was disconnected from the reservoir.No components were broken and minimal damage was observed on the connecting ring.One side of the neck was disconnected from the oxygenator lug.No other damage was observed.In an attempt to recreate the reported damage, a completed oxygenator/reservoir unit was dropped from approximately 4 feet onto the flat (venous) side of the reservoir.This resulted in the connecting ring disconnecting and on one side of the neck disconnecting from the oxygenator lug.A retention sample from the same lot was inspected and no anomalies were found.A review of the device history record also revealed no anomalies.The root cause was determined to be exposure to shock force while not in the original packaging.(b)(4).All available information has been placed on file in quality management for appropriate tracking, trending and follow up.
