H10: the actual device was not available; however, a photograph of the sample was provided for evaluation.A visual inspection was performed which showed a part of the set with the tubing and the slide clamp with a dark fluid (blood) and the tubing seemed to be burst or ruptured.The reported condition was verified, however, the product code is intended to be used with a syringe or cannula and is not intended to be used with a power injector; the tubing of this set is not designed for the capacity of that kind of equipment as it is not high pressure tubing.Therefore, the cause of the condition was determined to be use related as it was reported the tubing was being used with a power injector.A batch review was conducted and there were no deviations found related to this reported condition during the manufacture of this lot.Should additional relevant information become available, a supplemental report will be submitted.
