Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The device was returned for analysis.The reported leak was unable to be replicated in a testing environment due to the condition of the returned device (needle was at the ¿vac¿ position).Device history record (dhr) reviews were performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a review of the complaint handling database identified no other similar incidents from this lot.It is possible that the connection port was not fully connected/tightened and/or the device being connected was compromised thus resulting in the reported leak difficulties; however this cannot be confirmed.Additionally, inadvertent mishandling during use and/or during shipment for return analysis possibly resulted in the noted needle at the ¿vac¿ position; however this cannot be confirmed.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported/noted difficulties.Based on the reported information and results of the complaint investigation there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
