H3, h6: the device was received for evaluation.A visual inspection was performed.The index handle was broken.The device was received pressurized.A functional evaluation was performed.The distal quick connect was not secure and would unscrew from the distal ball.The loctite had failed where the quick connect screws into the distal ball.A review of the device history record shows there are no indications to suggest that the product did not meet manufacturing specification or would not be able to perform as intended.A complaint history review concluded this was a repeat issue.The complaint was confirmed and the root cause has been associated with a component failure.The degradation of the loctite compound between the distal ball and the quick connect can cause the quick connect to unscrew from the distal ball.A risk management review found that the reported failure was documented appropriately, and there were no indications to suggest the anticipated risk is not adequate.It is recommended that the spider 2 instructions for use be reviewed regarding depressurizing the spider 2 for storage to prevent the premature deterioration of the seals, pressure cups and pressure rings.No containment or corrective actions are recommended at this time.
