Manufacturer Narrative

The customer complaint of texium closed male luer leak was confirmed by evaluation of the youtube video.The video shows the user holding the syringe at an angle to the smartsite.It is likely that the texium actuator tabs are being partially engaged by the partially connected smartsite thus allowing liquid to flow through the system.The texium and smartsite present a closed system when they are fully connected per dfu and when connected properly without angling the two components when mating.Device history record could not be performed on model my8005 because the lot # for the suspect set was not provided.The root cause of this failure was not identified as no product was returned.
