Manufacturer Narrative

A product evaluation was completed.The reported event of optical module connector got detached from the extension tube was confirmed.As received, optical extension tube was detached from optical module connector, and fibers were exposed.Residual adhesive was observed at bond area of the detached part.Proximal and medial lumens were found to be patent and did not leak.No leakage was also confirmed on distal lumen from hub.An engineering evaluation was initiated to assess for any manufacturing related processes which could be correlated to the complaint.Based on the available information, the failure of optic system, detached from connector cannot be confirmed as a manufacturing or design error.The failure can be related to multiple root causes that are not able to be determined.Corrections to the h6 codes type of investigations, investigation findings, and investigation conclusions were made.
