Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Investigation summary: the customer reported the staff nurse was trying to connect a new feeding bag to the epump.However, the moment the epump was ran, the silicone tube dislodged from the connector.Another two bags were used and after a few minutes the same happened again.The customer further stated they have used the epump for many years and the units are serviced up to date.The tube dislodged easily and was not at tight as it has been in the past.There was no patient harm.The device history record (dhr) review of the reported lot number shows evidence that the product was released according to all established procedures and qa documentation.As part of this review, the dimensions of the tubing and mistic connector were reviewed, and all were found to be in specification.Lot and failure mode trending was reviewed and no related trends were identified.One (1) sample was returned for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed the report of tubing detachment/disconnection as the silicone tubing was detached from the mistic connector.Functional testing performed required reattaching the tubing to the mistic connector.The set was then connected to a pump and priming was completed without issue.Current process controls require one (1) of every eight (8) manufactured products be inspected with go no go fixture.Quality inspection results for the tensile test at the silicon tubing-mistic connector junction were reviewed and all the samples were found inside specification.A potential root cause of the confirmed detachment at the mistic connector is possible user misuse.The ifu states when loading the feed set to ¿grasp black ring retainer and gently stretch tubing around rotor and insert retainer into right pocket¿.Corrective actions are not necessary at this time as the historical manufacturing review determined the product met specification.This complaint will be used for tracking and trending purposes.
