Investigation results: our quality engineer inspected the sample submitted for evaluation.Bd received one unsealed 20ga x 1.00in.Single port nexiva unit.Through the visual inspection, media is present, no packaging was provided and the extension tubing of the device appeared to be ¿ballooned¿.The clamp was not activated but there appeared to be a kink in the tubing where the clamp was present.The unit was flushed to inspect for any occlusion, but no occlusion was discovered.The unit was leak tested to analyze for any damage the ballooning may have caused, but no leak was found.The tubing was cut and microscopically analyzed for any adhesive overflow in the adapter that may have caused occlusion.No adhesive or occlusion were discovered.Your reported issue was confirmed.There was no physical evidence to conclude that your reported issue was related to the manufacturing process.Per the ifu(instructions for use), the maximum power injector pressure limit is 300psi.If this pressure limit is exceeded, ballooning is likely to occur.Additionally, a ballooned tubing may occur due to the tubing being kinked or occluded during pressure injection.A device history record review showed no non-conformances associated with this issue during the production of this batch.
