(b)(4).Method: the subject device, ojr416 optiflow junior 2 nasal cannula was returned to fisher & paykel healthcare (f&p) for evaluation.Our investigation is thus based on the evaluation of the returned device, information provided by the healthcare facility and our knowledge of the product.Results: visual inspection of the subject device confirmed that the tubings were detached from the cannula tube joint.It was also observed that parts of the tubes were stretched.Conclusion: based on the visual inspection of the returned device, information provided and our knowledge of the product, it is most likely that the reported event resulted from the subject device being subjected to excessive force.As part of the manufacturing process, all optiflow junior nasal cannulas are 100% leak and occlusion tested after final assembly and any cannula that fails is discarded.In addition, samples are taken throughout each batch and functionally tested for retention strength between the assembled parts.If there are any failures the entire batch is put aside for further investigation.The subject cannula would have met the required specification at time of production.The user instructions illustrate in pictorial format the correct set-up and proper use of the optiflow junior 2 nasal cannula.They also state the following: - appropriate patient monitoring (e.G.Oxygen saturation) must be used at all times.Failure to monitor the patient (e.G.In the event of an interruption to gas flow) may result in serious harm or death).- do not wrap, insulate, stretch or crush the tubing as this may impair the performance of this product or compromise safety (including potentially causing patient harm).- 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.
