Udi not required for product code.Implanted date: device was not implanted.Explanted date: device was not explanted.Occupation: clinical engineer.Pma/510(k): k130520.The actual sample was received for evaluation.Visual inspection revealed that the sampling line tube was torn at the joint to the blood outlet port.No other obvious anomaly was noted.Normal saline was flowed into the actual sample.A leak was confirmed at the torn section of the sampling line tube.Magnifying inspection of the area around the torn section of the sampling line tube revealed that the tube had been cracked partially and some of the cracks went through the tube wall.Electron microscopic inspection of the torn section of the sampling line tube found a circular damage penetrating the tube wall, and some streaks were observed on the damaged surface.In addition, the port to which the sampling line tube was glued was found to have been deformed.Based on this, it was likely that the actual sample came into contact with a hard object with resultant generation of tear on the tube.A review of the device history record and the product-release judgement record of the involved product code/lot# combination was conducted with no findings.Ifu states: do not use an oxygenator and reservoir that leaks.Replace it with another capiox fx25 oxygenator and reservoir.Based on the provided information and investigation results, there is no definitive evidence that this event was related to a device defect or malfunction.It was likely that the leak occurred through the damage generated at the joint of the sampling line tube to the blood outlet port.It is likely that the damage was caused due to a hard object having come into contact with the tube.However, the exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information.(b)(4).
