(b)(4).Corrections section d4: serial number # not included as it is not applicable.Section d4: expiry date corrected.Method: the subject ojr410vt optiflow junior 2 ventilator transition kit was received at our fisher & paykel healthcare (f&p) regional office in the united kingdom where it was visually inspected by a trained f&p service technician.Our investigation is thus based on the information provided by the f&p service technician, the information provided by the healthcare facility and our knowledge of the product.Results: visual inspection of the subject device revealed that the tubing was found detached on the left hand side, confirming the reported fault.Conclusion: our investigation was unable to determine the exact cause of the observed damage to the ojr410vt optiflow junior 2 ventilator transition kit.The optiflow junior nasal cannula is designed specifically for the delicate anatomical features and flow requirements of neonatal and pediatric patients.It features adehesive pads (wigglepads) to maintain cannula stability on the patient's cheeks, soft-touch nasal prongs and breathable kink-proof and crush-resistant flexible tubing.All optiflow junior cannula are 100% leak and occlusion tested after final assembly and any cannula that fails is discarded.**in addition, samples are taken hourly from each run and pull tested to check glue joint strength at the cannula tube joint, as well as the swivel grip joint, if there are any failures the entire batch is put aside for further investigation.The subject ojr410vt optiflow junior 2 ventilator transition kit would have met the required specifications at the time of production the user instructions which accompany the ojr410vt optiflow junior 2 ventilator transition kit show in pictorial format the correct placement and fitting of the cannula, and provide the following warnings: "appropriate patient monitoring (e.G., oxygen saturation) must be used at all times.Failure to monitor the patient may result in loss of therapy, serious harm or death." "ensure all connections are secure during use.Check the cannula is undamaged and that the flow path is maintained.Under excessive load, the cannula may disconnect to prevent forces being transferred to the patient." "do not stretch the cannula on application; this may cause increase pressure to the patient's skin.If necessary, the cannula may be repositioned.".
