Additional information: h3, h4, h6 and h10.H10: the actual device was not available; however, a photograph of the sample was received along with eight (8) retained samples were evaluated.During visual inspection of the provided photographic sample, the presence of blood was observed in the cartridge due to a partially cut in a line (tubing).The reported condition was verified.The reported condition was not verified; however, the most probable cause was due to damage during the primary packaging process of the if the involved tubing is left outside the nest and is crushed and cut/damaged during the sealing process of the manufacturing process.Visual inspection of the 8 retained samples did not identify any abnormalities that could have contributed to the reported condition.The sets underwent under water leak testing and the samples were found to be within specification and no leaks were noted.The reported condition was not verified.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.
