Manufacturer Narrative

The customer provided photographs and the smart card data for investigation.A review of the smart card data did not verify an alarm #53: return line air detected occurred during the procedure; however, it did show an alarm #49: return bag- air detected and alarm #48: treatment bag - air detected alarm occurred at the end of the treatment.The customer provided photographs verify the photoactivation module leak as cracks are seen in two channels and air bubbles are seen within the module.The cracks can allow air to enter the photoactivation module and most likely was the cause of the alarm #49: return bag - air detected and alarm #48: treatment bag- air detected alarms.A material trace of the photoactivation plates used to build lot h268 did not find any non-conformances.A device history record review did not identify any related non-conformances and this kit lot had passed all lot release testing.The root cause of the photoactivation module leak was most likely due to the cracks in the photoactivation plate; however, the cause of the cracks could not be determined based on the available information.No further action is required at this time.This investigation is now complete.(b)(4).P.T.(b)(6) 2020.
