(b)(4).Method: the opt316 optiflow junior nasal cannula was not returned to fisher & paykel healthcare (f&p) for evaluation.Our investigation is based on the information and photography provided by the customer and our knowledge of our product.Results: visual inspection of the photography provided by the customer revealed that both tubes had detached from the swivel grip joint.One of the tubes was also stretched and deformed.Conclusion: without the complaint device, we are unable to determine the cause of the reported fault.All optiflow junior cannulas are 100% leak and occlusion tested after final assembly and any cannula that fails is discarded.In addition, samples are also taken and pull tested to check the tube tensile strength and the glue joint strength at the cannula/tube joint, as well as the swivel grip joint.The subject cannula would have met the required specification at time of production.The user instructions which accompany the opt316 optiflow junior nasal cannula show in pictorial format the correct placement and fitting of the cannula and also warn: ensure that all connections are secure during use.Check cannula is undamaged and that the flow path is maintained.Under excessive load, the cannula may disconnect to prevent forces being transferred to the patient.Appropriate patient monitoring must be used at all times.Failure to monitor the patient may result in loss of therapy, serious injury or death.Do not stretch or crush tube.
