(b)(4).Correction: section d9: no.Device not available for evaluation.Section g2: added other regulatory authority (nmpa).Section h11: method: the subject mr290v vented autofeed humidification chamber was not returned to fisher & paykel (f&p) healthcare in new zealand for evaluation.Our investigation is therefore based on the information and photographs provided by the healthcare facility, and our knowledge of the product.Results: a review of the provided photographs confirms the presence of a crack on the side of the chamber's dome.Conclusion: based on the information provided by the healthcare facility and without the return of the subject device, we are unable to determine the cause of the crack.Every mr290v humidification chamber is pressure tested following the manufacturing process and any holes, cracks, or leaks would be identified during this process.In addition, the pressure test is followed by a visual inspection of each chamber.Any chamber which fails these tests is rejected.The subject mr290v humidification chamber would have met the required specifications at the time of production.The user instructions that accompany the mr290v humidification chamber state the following: - do not use the chamber if the seals are not intact when received, or if it has been dropped.- visually inspect breathing sets for damage (e.G.Crushed tube or cracked connector) before use and replace if damaged.- ensure appropriate ventilator and flow source alarms are set before connecting breathing set to patient.- do not soak, wash, sterilize, or reuse this product.Avoid contact with chemicals, cleaning agents, or hand sanitizers.- perform a pressure and leak test on the breathing system and check for occlusions before connecting to a patient.- ensure there is a water supply connected.
