Additional Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(6).Method: the healthcare facility returned only one ojr412vt optiflow junior 2 ventilator transition kit 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: evaluation of the subject device confirmed that one of the tubes was detached from the cannula end.Conclusion: based on the evaluation of the returned device, information provided by the healthcare facility, and our knowledge of the product, it is most likely that the reported event 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 specifications is discarded.In addition, representative samples from each batch are functionally tested to assess retention strength between the assembled components.If there are any failures the entire batch quarantined for further investigation.The user instructions which accompany the ojr412vt optiflow junior 2 ventilator transition kit 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.".
