A review of the device history record traceable to the reported lot number indicates that the product was processed and released according to the product¿s acceptance criteria.A used fluidics management system (fms) was visually inspected.Surgical residue was observed in the cassette reservoir and the drain bag.The drain bag was easily detached from the cassette cover due to saturation.An air pocket was observed on the left drain port between the drain bag tape and the cassette cover.The sample was tested using a console.The fms primed and tuned with the handpiece, the 0.9-millimeter (mm) aspiration bypass system (abs) tip and infusion sleeve from lab stock successfully.Cassette max vacuum and aspiration flow rate, and irrigation flow rate were measured and met specifications.Procedure indicates that during the manufacturing process, the assembler is to "place the drainage bag on the designated area of the fms per the drawing.Ensure that the three holes on the drainage bag are properly aligned with the three drainage ports." additionally, they are to "ensure no air pockets are visible around the drain bag port." no clog or leaks were found; however, the root cause of the leakage report is likely related to operators not applying the drain bag as described in the procedure.The air pocket found on the drain bag tape can lead to leaking.Action will not be taken for this occurrence.Based on our current tracking, there are no adverse trends for this reported complaint.Complaints are continuously monitored to identify product and/or process areas where events like this one are occurring.In addition, routine training and awareness is conducted with all manufacturing associates to reinforce the importance of inspecting components and preventing assembly errors on the product.Quality assurance has reviewed this complaint and will continue to monitor data for evidence of adverse trending and take further action, as appropriate.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
