H6: investigation summary: one photo was received by our quality team for evaluation.From the photo, the catheter tubing was observed to be broken off near the nose of the adapter.A slanted cut was observed at the breakage point.A device history record could not be evaluated as the lot number is unknown.The assembly process was reviewed, the only station that is in contact with the catheter tubing is the rubber pads at the flaring station.Given the elastic nature of the rubber pads and that there are no sharp or hard edges on the pads, this station is unlikely to cause the observed slanted cut on the catheter tubing.The slanted cut on the catheter could occur during product application when the product was manipulated.Current quality controls include a daily outgoing functional test and a start of shift in-process functional test in place to check for catheter-to-adapter pull force.There is also a daily outgoing visual inspection and in-process visual inspection in place to check for catheter damage.The actual root cause cannot be established.
