Manufacturer Narrative

The following were reviewed as part of this investigation: patient severity, trend analysis, applicable previous investigation(s), sample (if available), applicable fmea documents, labeling, and applicable manufacture records.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of bubbles in the extension tubing was confirmed and the cause appeared to be supplier-related.The product returned for evaluation was one 22ga x 1¿ safestep safety infusion set.The sample was received with the safety mechanism engaged and usage residues were evident throughout the sample.A needleless injection cap was attached to the luer adapter.An attempt to infuse water through the sample using a 12ml syringe revealed the sample to be patent to infusion and aspiration; however, during aspiration, bubbles were noted in the extension tubing.During hydraulic pressurization, a leak was observed emanating from the needle housing.Microscopic inspection of the sample using an ultraviolet light revealed voids in the adhesive coverage within the housing.The leak appeared to be caused by a fluid path resulting from incomplete adhesive coverage within the needle housing.Such incomplete coverage appeared to be caused by void introduction/formation during device assembly.The device is a supplied component and the supplier has been notified of this event.A lot history review (lhr) of asats0210 showed no other similar product complaint(s) from this lot number.
