Additional Manufacturer Narrative
(b)(4).Method: the subject device, ojr418 optiflow junior 2 nasal cannula was returned to fisher & paykel healthcare (f&p), new zealand for evaluation.Our investigation is based on the information provided by the healthcare facility, evaluation of the returned device, and our knowledge of the product.Results: visual inspection of the subject device confirmed that one of the tubes was detached from the cannula.Conclusion: based on the visual inspection of the returned device, our knowledge of the product and the information provided, it is most likely that the reported damage resulted from the cannula being subjected to excessive force.As part of the manufacturing process, all optiflow junior 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 which accompany the ojr418 optiflow junior 2 nasal cannula show in pictorial format the correct placement and fitting of the cannula, and provide the following warnings: "appropriate patient monitoring (e.G., oxygen saturation) must be used at all times.Failure to monitor the patient may result in loss of therapy, serious harm or death." "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." "do not stretch the cannula on application, this may cause increase pressure to the patient's skin.If necessary, the cannula may be repositioned.".
