Manufacturer Narrative

The device history record review found that there were no related issues recorded throughout the manufacturing and control processes.The product was in conformance to specifications and was released for distribution meeting all established quality assurance acceptance levels.Two samples were returned to the manufacturing site for evaluation confirming the reported issue; the leak was identified between the connection points to the sheath, commonly referred to as the ¿ears¿ of the hub.This portion of the hub is the area with the least amount of plastic thickness.Based on this evaluation it is most likely that the condition occurred within the molding process and is indicative of inclusions within the molding process that may obstruct material flow.The investigation did not identify a systemic issue or trend with the product or process therefore, a corrective and preventive action (capa) is not necessary at this time.Further analysis will be performed to track and trend any adverse results.This information will be utilized for trending purposes to determine the need for corrective actions.
