(b)(4).One (1) 2415 corrugated comfort flo was received for investigation.A concha smart column and pressure relief valve were also returned.No defects or anomalies were observed.In an attempt to replicate the reported defect, the returned comfort flo circuit was set up for a functional bench test.The returned circuit, 382-10 concha smart column and pressure relief valve were connected to a lab inventory concha neptune heater, and a full concha water bottle for a real time operational scenario.The spikes of the concha smart column were inserted into the upper and lower ports on the concha water bottle and the concha water bottle was placed in the correct position/orientation.The comfort flo column filled to a level matching that of the water bottle expected.The air flow was set at 60lpm to account for the worst case scenario.When the circuit was kinked, the pressure relief valve released any excessive pressure and functioned as expected.The pressure relief valve was disconnected and re-connected to the other port on the column with the same results.No evidence of water squirting or exiting the column was observed.The situation was not able to be recreated even at the highest flow settings and with the tubing kinked.The pressure relief valve released pressure and functioned as expected.The pressure relief valve was also tested per d007367 rev.10 requirements 1.5a and 1.5b.The pressure relieve valve met all the design requirements.A device history record review was performed and no relevant findings were identified.The complaint could not be confirmed.In an attempt to replicate the reported defect, the returned sample was connected to a concha neptune and concha water bottle.The air flow was set at 60lpm to account for the worst case scenario.When the circuit was kinked , the pressure relief valve released any excessive pressure and functioned as expected.The pressure relief valve was disconnected and re-connected to the other port on the column with the same results.No evidence of water squirting or exiting the column was observed.The situation could not be recreated even at the highest flow settings.The pressure relieve valve met all the design requirements.The complaint could not be confirmed.Per r & d, it's possible that there was excessive rain out in the reservoir drain which could have squirted out as the patient turned over, if the reservoir wasn't emptied prior.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend on complaints of this nature.
