Manufacturer Narrative

Visual analysis of the "as received" used 011-46105-57 mtg kit confirmed the needleless valve was recessed.The engineering report documents although not always repeatable, previous engineering analysis of these valve components have shown recessed/leakage condition can potentially occur if the valve component is activated with a long luer or a luer with sharp edges at an angled entry.For optimal performance it is recommended to use connector devices that comply with iso 594-1 std.And techniques that employ a rotational motion while connecting and disconnecting the mating device to the valve as well as ensuring that the central axis of the connector and valve are inline with each other when connecting and disconnecting and not at an angle.
