Investigation summary: a device history review was conducted for lot number 8079074.Records show the reported lot was manufactured in april of 2018 and determined that this is the only instance of a leaking tubing being reported in this batch of intima ii.According to the sampling plan applied for product performance, this lot was accepted and released without defects being noted during the final assembly or visual inspections.Investigation conclusion: during the investigation of the sample submitted by the facility our investigators noted a small crack located on the adapter, discovered through the use of leakage testing.The returned product's swage dimensions were measured by our team and found to be within product specifications.However according to previous investigations, depending on pressure variance in the autoline's swage pressure it is possible for the machine to become misaligned allowing for the resulting crack to form in the device; a review of the line determined that the machine is in the proper orientation and operating normally.Root cause description: bd is currently conducting a long term study to determine the root cause for this event.Rationale: bd will continue to track and trend for this issue.Capa 599768 is initiated to address this issue.
