Material no.: 4301c batch no.: 0001422197, 0001429130, 0001426189.It was reported that 3 out of 4 trays leaked.Was there a need to repeat the procedure? no.Was the specimen contaminated? no.What was done to resolve the issue? tightened all connections with continued leaking, pushed in white stopcock with continued leaking.Opened a second tray with new manometer and stopcock with continued leaking despite repeating all of the above interventions.Was there any cracks or breakage noticed at the connection point? none visible is there a photo or sample available showing the reported issue for the evaluation? attached.If sample is available, please provide address returning from.Na.One point for clarification, although the procedure was not repeated, the requested clinical information (opening and closing pressures) could not be provided to the clinician because of the leakage.Verbatim: in the cat 4301c adult lumbar puncture tray made by carefusion, the neuroradiology team has consistently been finding the stopcocks leaking csf during lumbar punctures, preventing an accurate manometer reading.At times the stop cock leaks at the bottom.At times to stop cock leaks where it connects with the manometer despite tight connections.This occurs in approximately 3 out of 4 trays.I suspect a defect in the stopcocks and/or manometer where it connects to the stopcock.This occurred today with 3 out of the 4 trays i used.The first leaking tray was lot number 0001429130, exp.Date 2022-06-30, which we opened an additional tray to try to get an accurate opening pressure with lot number 01422197 exp date 2022-06-30 which also leaked.In an additional patient we had the same leaking with lot number 0001426189.Exp date 2022-06-30.These inaccurate manometers reading which is interfering with appropriate patient care.I suspect this product may need to recalled.Hoping you can help to rectify this situation or direct me someone that can.

Pr (b)(4) follow-up emdr for device evaluation: one sample of lot 0001422197 was provided to our quality team for investigation.During inspection simulated leakage test performed and confirmed the reported failure mode leakage.A review of the internal manufacturing device record and raw material history files for the reported lot number 0001422197, 0001429130 and 0001426189 were performed, no recorded quality problems or rejections related to this incident were found, all procedural and functional requirements for product release have been met.Based on the quality team's investigation, most likely the root cause of this incident is manufacturing related.A corrective action project was opened to further investigate these defects.Complaints received for this device and defect will continue to be monitored by our quality team for signs of emerging trends.H3 other text : see manufacturer here.
