This report is being submitted as follow up no.2 to provide an update to the device return date in section d9, and provide the completed investigation results.It was reported in follow up no.1 that the actual sample was not available; however, the sample was received.The actual sample was received.Visual inspection revealed that the lock adapter had come off the male connector of the sampling system.Magnifying inspection of the actual sample found no deformity or other visible anomaly in the male connector or in the lock adapter.The outer diameter of the rib of the male connector and the inner diameter of the lock adapter were measured.Compared with a factory-retained product sample, no difference was observed in the measured values.The surface of the male connector was subjected to elemental analysis by sem-edx (scanning electron microscope / energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy).The result showed the presence of si, which is likely to be derived from the silicone applied to the switch cocks of the three-way stopcock to improve the lubricity of them in the manufacturing process.Simulation test: silicone was applied to a male connector of a factory-retained sampling system, a female connector was connected to it, and then a torque load was applied to the lock adapter.As a result, the lock adapter came off.Product structure: the sampling system is designed so that the internal step of the lock adapter is hooked on the male connector's ribs to prevent loosening when the female luer is connected.Therefore, if the internal step completely overcomes the ribs for some reason, the mating may come off.Ifu states: do not use if the package or device is damaged (e.G.Cracked) or any of the port caps are off.Based on the provided information and investigation results, there is no definitive evidence that this event was related to a device defect or malfunction.It was likely that the silicon, which is applied to the switch cocks of the sampling system to improve the lubricity, was transferred to the male connector part due to some factors.Afterward, the lock adapter, when re-tightened, may have got over the rib of the male connector in lubricated state and came off.However, from the state of the actual sample, the exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information.

This report is being submitted as follow up no.1 to provide an update to the device return date in section d9, update section h3, and to provide the completed investigation results.It was initially reported that the actual sample was available; however, it was confirmed to no longer be available.The actual device was not returned; therefore, an evaluation of the actual device was unable to be conducted.No abnormality was found in the manufacturing records or the product-release judgement record.Based on experience, it was conceivable that some kind of lubricant may have adhered to the male connector, which may have caused the lock adapter to come off when the lock adapter was tightened.However, with no device return the exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information.
