Event date: estimated date of event.The udi number is not known as the part and lot number were not provided.The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record and similar incident review of the reported lot could not be conducted because the part and lot number were not provided.The investigation determined the reported leak and the reported loose connection appear to be a potential product quality issue.The reported break and the reported noise possibly contributed to the reported difficulties; however a conclusive cause for the reported break and the reported noise cannot be determined.On feb 25th, 2022 abbott vascular decided to initiate a voluntary field action.The product associated with this complaint is potentially from the impacted population as the lot number is unknown.Abbott vascular submitted medwatch # 2024168-2022-01831 on march 4, 2022 with notification of the voluntary recall, (remedial action initiated).Corrective action has been initiated per site operating procedures.Field safety corrective action is required for specific lots of 20/30 and plus 30 indeflators and associated priority packs: 20/30 priority pack with copilot, 20/30 priority pack, priority pack 20/30 w/115 rhv, ppak 20/30 with rhv, plus 30, ppakplus30, ppakplus30 w/115 rhv.This action is being taken due to an increase in the complaint trend for reported leak/splash and loose or intermittent connection.20/30 indeflators are at an increased risk of leaking due to a gap in the hose snap fitting.Stopcocks are at an increased risk of leaking due to a higher tendency for loose connections when not connected properly.
