Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The mask has been returned to resmed for investigation.Visual inspection confirmed the elbow did not fully assemble into the frame and can easily be detached.Based on all available evidence and complaint investigations of a similar nature, the investigation determined that the reported complaint was due to a combination of partial assembly between the elbow and the frames during manufacturing at supplier and the slanted and rounded edge of the elbow snap feature.The acucare f1-0 mask is a hospital non-vented full-face mask which is intended to be used in a hospital environment only.Therefore, it is expected that the patient is under supervision.The user guide also provides the following caution: ¿if any visible deterioration of a mask system component is apparent (cracking, discoloration, tears etc.), the mask system should be discarded and replaced.¿ resmed's risk analysis for this failure mode concludes that the risk is acceptable.Resmed reference#: (b)(4).
