Manufacturer Narrative

The complaint of a stick down can be confirmed on the returned one used partial list #b5216, 147" (373 cm) bifuse 10 drop blood set w/170 micron filter, hand pump, 2 clave® w/remv 3 gang 1o2® manifold (blue, yellow, red), check valve rotating luer, 1 ext; lot #6037886.As received the silicone seal of the y-clave on the partial set was stuck down.The y-clave was disassembled to evaluate the seal and spike.The seal was torn on the top surface of the seal.The spike was crushed and twisted.No damages or anomalies noted on the returned new b5216.The probable cause of the damaged seal and internal spike is due to access with an incompatible mating device during use.The dfu states: "connectors are compatible with iso male luers having an internal diameter between 0.062¿ and 0.110¿." the device history review (dhr) for lot 6037886 was reviewed and no non conformities were found that would have led to the reported complaint.
