Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).Corrected data: section b5.Describe event or problem: a healthcare facility in new zealand reported via a fisher and paykel healthcare (f&p) field representative, that the seal of a rt043m non vented hospital full face mask disconnected from the mask frame.Method: the complaint rt043m non vented hospital full face mask was returned to fph in new zealand where it was visually inspected.Results: visual inspection of the returned device revealed that the seal was found partly separated from the mask base.However, a continuous bead of glue around the mask seal on the part of the mask was found.Further inspection revealed marks from the base in the glue on the detached part of the seal indicate that it was correctly inserted.Conclusion: we were unable to determine the root cause of the observed separation.Visual inspection indicated that there is no evidence of incorrect manufacturing of the mask.Possibly related to the effects of transport, or storage on the strength of the glue holding the mask seal to the base.The rt043m non vented hospital full face mask features a mask base, seal, and headgear.The mask seal is inserted into the mask base and is secured with glue.Each assembled mask seal is inspected to ensure it is correctly inserted and there are no unacceptable gaps between the seal and the base.Samples are taken and the mask seals are pulled apart after 24 hours to ensure they meet or exceed the required detachment force before the assembled product can be released.Our user instructions illustrate in pictorial format the correct set-up and proper use of the rt043m non vented hospital full face mask.It also states the following: - "operating pressure range: 3 - 25 cmh2o" - "this mask may only be used in a hospital or clinical setting where the patient is adequately monitored by trained medical staff.Failure to monitor the patient may result in loss of therapy, serious injury or death." - "in the case of therapy device failure, the use of this mask requires the same level of attention and assistance as in the use of a tracheal tube.".
