Event Description

A physician reported the tube was found detached from a cassette during a vitrectomy procedure.The procedure was completed after replacing the product with another one.No patient harm was reported.

Manufacturer Narrative

A review of the device history record traceable to the reported lot number indicates that the product was processed and released according to the product¿s acceptance criteria.The tubing was reported to be detached from the cassette.A fluidics management system (fms) was returned and was visually inspected.Visual inspection confirmed the irrigation tubing was detached to the cassette insertion.The irrigation tubing was not fully inserted to the cassette.Visual inspection observed that solvent was not applied around the tubing which caused the tubing not to adhere on the wall of the aspiration port of the cassette.The root cause is consistent with a manufacturing error where there was a lack of wetting of the tubing with solvent and subsequent insertion to the cassette.In order to mitigate the occurrence of this type of event, during the manufacturing process, downstream in-process checks after final assembly are utilized to help screen out this type of defect from occurring.An action has been opened to determine a root cause and implement appropriate corrective action for complaints of a similar nature.All lots are verified that all required tests have been performed and all acceptance criteria are met prior to release.Quality assurance has reviewed this complaint and will continue to monitor data for evidence of adverse trending and take further action, as appropriate.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
