Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This report has been identified as b.Braun medical internal report number (b)(4).One used sample without packaging was provided for evaluation.The sample was visually evaluated with no non-conformance noted.It was then attached to a pump to observe if it would fit into the pump.The tubing did not need to be stretched and there was no evidence of interference between the tubing couplers and the pump housing.To replicate the reported defect of the air-in-line alarm on the pump, the sample was attached to the pump and then tested by running therapy while staggering the rate of flow throughout the therapy.No alarms occurred during the testing of the returned sample.The sample was also leak tested per specifications with no leakages observed.Sample passed all evaluations.The reported defect was not confirmed.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.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.
