(b)(4).Method: the complaint rt125 infant bias flow breathing circuit was not returned to fisher & paykel healthcare (f&p) for evaluation.Our investigation is thus based on the information provided by the customer and our knowledge of the product.Results: the customer reported that the rt125 infant bias flow breathing circuit failed the ventilator leak test before use.Conclusion: without the complaint device, we are unable to determine what may have caused the reported event.All rt125 infant bias flow breathing circuits are visually inspected and pressure and flow tested during production, and those that fail are rejected.The subject breathing circuit would have met the required specifications at the time of production.Our user instructions that accompany the rt125 infant bias flow breathing circuit show in pictorial format the correct set-up of the circuit and also states the following: - "check all connections are tight before use." - "perform a pressure and leak test on the breathing system and check for occlusions before connecting to a patient." - "ensure appropriate ventilator or flow source alarms are set before connecting breathing set to patient.".
