Updated blocks: b5 and h6 the reported complaint was confirmed.During further investigation of the photo provided, the reported complaint was confirmed.The complaint information and evidence provided indicated that the issue occurred on line 1 of the drawing specification, where the incorrect type of tubing was used causing a leak between the connection of l3 and the connector 080189.The interaction between the connector 080189 and the 4.75x1.0 tubing was recreated to understand if this could have played a factor in the issue reported.The root cause of the reported issue was determined to be due to workmanship where the 4.75x1.0 tubing was used on the l1 or l3 instead of the specified 1/4x1/16 tubing, resulting in a leak.If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.

Per clinical review: this complaint involved a tubing pack and the hemoconcentrator and tubing line connected to it, that leaked blood during cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb).The hemoconcentrator and tubing line was changed out with a new disposable from the same lot, and the leak re-occurred.New disposables from a different lot number were then used to perform another changeout and the issue resolved.The complaint disposables were not returned, but pictures and video were shared that confirmed the blood leak during cpb.There was approximately 200 cubic centimeter (cc) of blood loss to the patient, and the surgery was successfully completed.
