A review of the dhr and inspection records was conducted, and no similar concerns were found.According to the customer, there was no sample available for review.However, an image was provided for this lot number that confirmed breakage just below the inverted triangle beneath the silicone disc.Therefore, this complaint was confirmed for breakage.A definite root cause for the breakage could not be determined without the sample to review.Based on the review of the provided image, it could not be determined if the catheter tubing was cut or if a tensile force had been applied which would leave jagged edges at the breakage area of the tubing.Since a definite root cause could not be established, no corrective action will be taken at this time.Argon will continue to monitor for issues of this nature in the future.
