Plant investigation: as the device was not returned to the manufacturer, a physical evaluation could not be performed.However, a photo of the alleged malfunction was received from the customer.According with the photo received, it can be observed a tear in the pump tubing to the adapter.The alleged failure mode was confirmed; a leak from the tubing.This kind of damage (tear) could be caused due to an incorrect handling of the product either during the manufacturing process or treatment set up.A batch records review was conducted by the manufacturer for the reported lot.There were no non-conformances or abnormalities identified during the manufacturing process which could be associated with the reported event.The entire lot has been sold and distributed.In addition, a device history review was performed and confirmed that the results of the in-progress and final quality control (qc) testing met all requirements.The lot met all specifications for release.All the applicable in-process and final inspection tests were found with acceptable results.
