Qn#(b)(4).The customer returned one unit 5-16137 et tube, sher-i-bronch, rs, 37 fr for investigation.The et tube, two suction catheters, both swivel connectors, and the y connector were all returned in their original packaging.The returned sample was visually examined with and without magnification.Visual examination of the returned sample revealed that the ett package was partially opened.No issues were found with the integrity of the sterile barrier on the packaging.A piece of foreign material was observed in the packaging of the et tube, but this could have gotten into the package after it was already opened.The manufacturing site was consulted for this investigation.It was confirmed that the package did not present any blemishes or abnormalities in the sterile barrier.The sterile barrier appears to be fully intact.A burst test is performed at the time of manufacturing to help prevent this type of issue from occurring.Based on the condition of the returned sample, there is no evidence to suggest a manufacturing related root cause.It could not be determined how or when the package was opened.
