Additional Manufacturer Narrative
(b)(4).The opt842 optiflow adult nasal cannula is used to deliver humidified oxygen to patients.The opt842 consists of a lightweight delivery tube which is connected to a rigid plastic base and soft nasal prongs (nasal interface).The interface is held in place by a head strap and also includes a lanyard that is placed around the patient's neck or attached to the patient's clothing or bedding to remove the load of the breathing circuit from the patient's nares.Method: the complaint opt842 optiflow adult nasal cannula was not returned to fisher & paykel healthcare (f&p) for evaluation.Our investigation is thus based on the information and photograph provided by the customer, and our knowledge of the product.Result: visual inspection of the provided photograph revealed that the tubing was pulled out of the connector.The tubing was also torn where it attaches to the connector.The healthcare facility reported that the patient pulled the opt842 optiflow adult nasal cannula.Conclusion: the cause of the reported event was due to the patient pulling the subject opt842 optiflow adult nasal cannula.All optiflow interfaces are inspected during production for visual defects including cracks, tears, inclusions, discoloration and stretching or deformation.Any product that fails the visual inspection is rejected.The subject opt844 optiflow adult nasal cannula would have met the required specification at the time of production.The user instructions which accompany the opt844 optiflow adult nasal cannula show in pictorial format the correct placement and fitting of the cannula and also warn: - "appropriate patient monitoring must be used at all times.Failure to monitor the patient may result in loss of therapy, serious injury or death." - "do not crush or stretch tube.".
