Additional Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4), the customer returned one 351600 adult breathing circuit for investigation.Upon receiving the circuit, it was visually examined for any signs of misuse/abuse/damage.No tube melting or charring was detected.A crack was found in the wye connector.The entire circuit was hooked to a leak tester and leak tested per iso standard 5367:2000, annex "d", which states that at a constant air pressure of 60 +/- 3cm h2o, the leak rate shall not exceed 30 ml/min.The leak was so profuse, a quantitative leakage value could not be recorded.The circuit leaked from the crack in the wye connector.The complaint of a leaking circuit was confirmed.The returned sample leaked air from the crack in the wye connector.It is not known how the crack occurred.There is not sufficient evidence to assure this issue was originated during the manufacturing process.It is unknown in what part of supply chain the circuit was damaged.However, personnel from quality and the production line will be notified about this complaint in order to keep them aware of the issue reported.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.
