The following fields were updated due to additional information: d10/d11: concomitant medical products: device available for eval yes.D10/d11: concomitant medical products: returned to manufacturer on: 2020-12-23.H6: investigation summary: two 2000e-04 samples were received for investigation with an opened packaging from lot 20065103.Additionally a 10ml bd syringe with residual fluid was received connected to one of the samples to assist the investigation.A visual inspection of the samples did not identify any signs of damage or manufacturing defects which could have contributed to the customer's experience.Functional testing was performed by separately connecting each sample to the received 10ml syringe and flushing with fluid; no flow restriction or occlusion was observed throughout testing.The test was then repeated using a 50ml bd plastipak syringe from stock again no flow restrictions or occlusions were observed.The details of this feedback were forwarded to the manufacturing site for investigation.A review of the production records for lot 20065103 did not identify any in-process testing failures or quality deviations which may have resulted in a report of this nature.It was not possible to confirm the root cause of the reported issue in this instance.Testing of the returned sample did not identify any product defects or quality deviations that could have contributed to the customer¿s experience.A review of the customer feedback database indicates that reports of this nature against the standalone smartsite device occur at a low frequency and have not been attributable to a product defect or manufacturing issue.H3 other text : see h.10.
