Conclusion: the complaint is confirmed for a leak.An analysis of this occurrence could not be performed without the returned product.After evaluation the cause of this complaint could not be determined.However, an investigation due to leakage in the connections with 3/8¿ connectors was carried out in which it was determined that for connections with 3/8¿ connectors, a zip tie would be added, for which 1800 catalogues will be updated.Review of the device history record found no abnormalities during manufacturing that would cause or contribute to the reported event.Complaints received for the same failure mode were reviewed and showed no trends warranting escalation related to this occurrence.Assessment against the medtronic risk management file process failure modes and effects analysis (pfmeca) indicated that the current risk zone does not exceed the risk zone predicted in the product pfmeca.There were no adverse patient effects because of this incidence.Trends for issues with this device are monitored.Medtronic is submitting this report to comply with fda reporting regulations under 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.This report is based upon information obtained by medtronic, which the company may not have been able to fully investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by the fda.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to obtain more complete information and has provided as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.In particular, this report does not constitute an admission by anyone that the product described in this report has any ¿defects¿ or has ¿malfunctioned¿.These words are included in the fda 3500a form and are fixed items for selection created by the fda to categorize the type of event solely for the purpose of regulatory reporting.Medtronic objects to the use of these words and others like them because of the lack of definition and the connotations implied by these terms.This statement should be included with any information or report disclosed to the public under the freedom of information act.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
