Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
This report has been identified as b.Braun medical internal report number (b)(4).One used sample was provided for evaluation.Upon visual inspection of the returned sample, no defects were noted.The sample was attached to observe if it would fit into the pump.The tubing did not need to be stretched and there was no evidence of interference between the tubing couplers and the pump housing.In an attempt to replicate the reported defect of the air-in-line alarm on the pump, the sample was attached to the pump and then tested by running therapy while staggering the rate of flow throughout the therapy.No alarms occurred during the testing of the returned sample.The sample was also leak tested with no leakages observed.A measurement of the outer diameter of the pump segment tubing was taken and found to be within specification.Based on the data from the investigation, the reported defect was unable to be confirmed.We will maintain this report for further references and continue to monitor other reports for similar occurrences.If any additional pertinent information becomes available, a follow up will be submitted.
