Additional Manufacturer Narrative

H11: according to drawing of the involved custom pack and the information provided by the customer, the disconnection occurred between the y connector code and the arterial filter outlet tubing, that should be bonded together during manufacturing.Unit was not available for investigation.The review of the complaints database identified that no other similar incidents were notified for concerned batch, neither a concerning trend was detected.Based on the available data, the most likely root cause of the complained event was an improper assembly of the arterial line to the connector, likely due to insufficient application of solvent in manufacturing.To prevent re-occurrence, the manufacturing personnel has been involved in a dedicated training meeting to discuss the specific event.
