Plant investigation: the actual device was returned to the manufacturer for physical evaluation.An external visual inspection was performed on the cycler with no physical damage noted.Although there was evidence of dried fluid present within the cassette compartment, there were no burrs or sharp edges in the cassette area that could have punctured the cassette membrane.There were visual indications of particulates within the cassette area.An accelerated stress test (ast) was performed on the cycler and passed.There were no fluid leaks in the test cassette during the accelerated stress test.The cycler underwent and passed a patient sensor calibration check.An investigation of the cycler mushroom heads verified that the surface conditions and alignments were within specification.An internal visual inspection identified evidence of dried fluid within the recess of the bottom cover adjacent to the pump.The cause of the dried fluid could not be determined.A review of the device manufacturing records was conducted by the manufacturer.There were no deviations or non-conformances during the manufacturing process.In addition, a device history record (dhr) review was performed and verified that the results of the in-progress and final quality control (qc) testing met all requirements.Upon completion of the evaluation, there were no malfunctions that could have caused or contributed to the reported event.The cycler performed as designed and an associated cause could not be determined.
