Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being submitted as follow up no.2 to update section h3, and to provide the completed investigation results.The actual sample was received for evaluation.Visual inspection of the revealed no breakage in the visible range.The red port cap for the blood cardioplegia port had been detached and not returned for evaluation.The actual sample was built into a circuit with tube, and then physiological saline solution (colored for better visibility) was circulated in the circuit at 5 l/min, which is the maximum flow rate applicable to rx15.As a result, no leak occurred.The blood channel of the actual sample was filled with physiological saline solution and the blood outlet port was occluded, and then air pressure of 2kgf/cm2 was applied to the blood channel from the blood inlet port.As a result, no leak occurred.The water channel of the heat exchanger was filled with water and the water outlet port was occluded, and then air pressure of 3kgf/cm2 was applied to the water channel from the water inlet port.As a result, no leak occurred.Ifu states: do not use an oxygenator and reservoir that leaks.Replace it with another capiox rx25 oxygenator and reservoir.Band all connections in the circuit.Ensure that all connected parts including the luer caps, the lock adapters and the port caps are securely affixed.Loose connections may cause contamination or a blood leak.Based on the provided information and investigation results, there is no definitive evidence that this event was related to a device defect or malfunction.The investigation results verified the returned sample was of normal product.It is likely that a leak might have occurred from the connection between a port of the oxygenator and a tube; leak might have occurred from the connection between the blood cardioplegia port and a tube because the red port cap had been detached.However, the exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information.
