One pressure monitoring set was returned for evaluation.Customer report of connection between z site sampling site and pressure tubing was found detached was confirmed.As received, pressure tubing was found completely detached from the distal bond joint with z site.Indication of bonding material was evident on tubing bond surface area.Tubing od measured near the point of detachment was within specification.No visible damage or occlusion was observed from the rest of the kit.Since a lot number was not reported, the device history record review could not be performed.An engineering evaluation was initiated to assess for any manufacturing-related processes which could be correlated to the complaint.Based on the available information there is no evidence that supports or confirms the failure mode is associated to a manufacturing or design defect.Therefore a root cause could not be established.There are manufacturing controls to avoid potential causes related to the bond - tubing to sample site - detached malfunction as follows: 100% leak test, first unit verification, quality assurance sampling inspection, and 100% visual inspection by manufacturing.
