G1: address line 1: (b)(6).H10: the device and two pictures were received for evaluation.The visual analysis of the picture confirmed the presence of coagulated blood at the connection between the prismaflex set (male luer connector) and thermax bag (female luer connector).Visual inspection of the actual sample observed clotted blood at the level of the connection indicating a minor blood leak.No defects were observed.The connection was redone and a functional test (pressure test) was performed and no leak or air inlet was observed.The cause of the condition could be attributable to a bad connection between the return line of the set and the thermax by the user.A batch review was conducted and there were no deviations found related to this reported condition during the manufacture of this lot.Should additional relevant information become available, a supplemental report will be submitted.
