Received one used b33276 smallbore trifuse extension set for inspection.The filter vents on the 0.2 micron filter were wetted out with prior infusate.The extension set was leak tested per product specifications.There was leakage from the filter vents of the 0.2 micron filter.The reported complaint can be confirmed.The probable cause of leakage is due to a temporary or complete loss of hydrophobic properties of the filter vent material due to an infusate interaction during use.The lot history was reviewed, no nonconformities were identified that may have contributed to the reported complaint.
