The device history record (dhr) is established based on a serial number located on the device.Since no serial number was provided by the customer, the dhr could not be reviewed.A sample was not returned for evaluation.If a sample is received at a later date, the complaint will be reopened and updated accordingly.The manufacturing process of the y-port assembly, test and inspection was reviewed by the supplier, no issues found.The supplier performs a leak test during production.The supplier also reviewed y-port failure history at the production line and no y-port crack/detached issues were found in 2022.Furthermore there are four inspection stations which can detect a y-port crack issue during manufacturing.Further analysis is not able to be performed at this time due to the limited information.Based on the available information, a root cause cannot be determined.No corrective actions are required at this time.This complaint will be used for tracking and trending purposes.
