(b)(4).Method: the complaint rt266 infant dual-heated evaqua2 breathing circuit swivel was returned to fisher & paykel healthcare (f&p) in new zealand, where it was visually inspected.The swivel was also pressure tested by connecting to a functional breathing circuit.Results: visual inspection revealed no damage to the subject rt266 swivel.The pressure test was also found to be within specification.Conclusion: we were unable to determine what may have caused the failed leak test, as no fault was found with the returned swivel.All rt266 infant dual heated evaqua2 breathing circuits are visually inspected, and pressure and flow tested during production, and those that fail are rejected.The subject infant breathing circuit would have met the required specifications at the time of production.Our user instructions that accompany the rt266 infant dual heated evaqua2 breathing circuit state the following: - "check all connections are tight before use." - "perform a pressure and leak test on the breathing system and check for occlusions before connecting to a patient." - "set appropriate ventilator alarms.".
