H6: investigation summary one sample was received for quality investigation.The customer complaint of component damage was verified by visual inspection.Evaluation of the sample submitted shows that the male luer connector was damaged and missing the securement collar.The male luer connector body was broken in half without any indication of bending of the body material, which indicates that a strong force was applied, causing it to break.A device history record review could not be performed because the lot number is unknown.The root cause of the issue seen in this complaint is an issue with connecting / disconnecting the luer adapter, or misue of the luer connector.Similar breaks in the male luer adapter have been seen when applying a large amount of force perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the luer adapter when connecting or disconnecting the luer.This force causes the luer to break as shown in the returned sample.This force can be introduced on the sample when connecting/disconnecting the sample or if the luer gets caught on something and the tubing pulled hard enough to break the luer.
