(b)(4).Section d4: lot number, expiration date, udi details were not received from the customer section h4: device manufacturing details were not received from the customer.Method: the subject device, ojr410vt optiflow junior 2 ventilator transition kit 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: 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 is quarantined for further investigation.The user instructions which accompany the optiflow junior 2 ventilator transition kit show in pictorial format the correct set-up and proper use of the cannula.They also state the following: - appropriate patient monitoring (e.G.Oxygen saturation) must be used at all times.Failure to monitor the patient may result in serious injury or death.For example, in the event of an interruption to gas flow.- 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 injury).- 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.
