This report has been identified as b.Braun medical internal report number (b)(4).One used sample was returned by facility for evaluation.The sample was functionally tested by attaching it to a water line for 10 seconds.It was noted there was water coming from a vertical crack on the female adapter which the caresite was removable.The reported defect was confirmed.Although leakage was observed from a vertical female connector the exact root cause could not be determined at this time.However, incidents of cracked/leaking connectors can possibly be caused by several factors, including but not limited to the product being subjected to aggressive solvents/drugs, excessive mechanical stresses (over-tightening or frequent set manipulation), or other various unforeseen circumstances during the clinical application.A review of the discrepancy management system (dsms) database was performed for the reported lot number and no abnormalities or non-conformances were noted during the in process or final product inspection.In addition, review of the batch history records was also performed for the reported lot number and no non-conformances or deviations were noted during the manufacturing process or final inspections.We will maintain this report for further references and continue to monitor other reports for similar occurrences.If any additional pertinent information becomes available, a follow up will be submitted.
