Manufacturer Narrative

A review of the device history records was performed for the indicated packaging and component lots for any deviations related to the reported defect of the complaint.The review confirms that the lots met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The may 2017 angiodynamics complaint report was reviewed for the perceptor dts and manifolds product family and the failure mode "air bubbles noted." no adverse trend was identified.Examination of the returned sample showed the male slip of the rotating adaptor of the manifold to be broken off where it is bonded inside the female luer of the contrast injection line (cil).The bond between the female of the cil and the rotating adaptor of the manifold showed no evidence of excess bonding agent.Leak testing could not be performed due to the condition of the returned sample.Based on the sample evaluation results and process controls in place to address this failure mode, possible root causes include the end user trying to tighten the bonded connection, handling damage during transit, or that the responsible employees did not apply enough chemical adhesive when attaching the rotating adaptor.No other damage was noted to the returned sample.The employees involved in the assembly of the reported device lot have been made aware of this event and the applicable bonding procedure has been reviewed with them.(b)(4).
