This report is being sent as follow-up no.1 to update section h3, and to provide the completed investigation results.Visual inspection of the actual device - it was found that the sampling line connected to the venous blood inlet port of reservoir had been fractured at the joint with the port.- it was found that the support arm had been damaged.Due to this event, it was suggested that some force may have been applied to the actual device.Magnifying and electron microscopic inspections of the fractured section of actual reservoir - the fractured surface was smooth, and streak patterns starting from one point were found.Therefore, it was inferred that momentary force was applied to the reservoir, causing it to fracture.No foreign substance or air bubbles that could lead to damage were found.After cutting a part of actual sampling line, magnifying inspection of the cross section of tube was performed.- no anomaly such as an uneven thickness was found.- the inner and outer diameters of the tube were measured.No differences were found compared to the current product.Simulation test - in ashitaka factory, we have experienced that similar fractures occurred in some cases when the product was cold and momentary external force was applied.- the local temperature was investigated from the date of the serial number of actual device (september 2024) to the date of occurrence (july 2025).It was found that the minimum temperature was below the freezing point.- to simulate the occurrence of damage during distribution storage, the sample was cooled and then momentary impact load was applied.As a result, it was found that in some cases, parts of the tube fractured at the joint with the product.- electron microscopic inspection of the fractured surface of fractured sample was performed.It was found that the condition was likely to be similar to that of the actual device.The test conditions were set arbitrarily.The manufacturing record and the shipping inspection record of the actual device - no anomaly was found.Past complaint file - no other similar report of the product with the involved product code/lot number was found.Manufacturing date: september 5, 2024 cause of occurrence/conclusion based on the investigation result, as a possible cause of occurrence, from the condition of fractured surface and simulation test result, following factor was inferred.However, it was not possible to clarify exactly when the actual device fractured.- the involved device was in a cold state due to the temperature during distribution and storage environment during the cold season.When the device was handled, some strong impact load was applied, leading to the fracture.Relevant ifu reference: "ifu (capiox fx25) if the product is dropped during set-up, do not use it.Replace with another device." terumo medical corporation (tmc) (importer) registration no.2243441 is submitting this report on behalf of ashitaka factory of terumo corporation (manufacturer) registration no.9681834.
