Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information: g3, h3, h6.The complaint allegation is not confirmed.Due to device contamination, only a visual evaluation was performed.The reported issue¿that the tubing connected to the pump was leaking¿could not be verified, as punctures or leaks were not visible in the photographic evidence provided for device ar-6415, batch number: n5026.The exterior of the tubing appeared intact, and no abnormalities were observed.Based on the available information¿which may include the returned device (if applicable), photographs, videos, event descriptions, and any additional field data¿arthrex determined the most probable cause of the reported issue.The most likely root cause may be attributed to misuse or mishandling of the device, potentially due to environmental or handling factors leading to tubing rupture or improper installation or connection of the tubing.Per dfu information ¿ ar-6415 tubing setup and configuration: the ar-6415 tubing is part of the one-piece tubing configuration used with the arthrex dualwave pump (ar-6480).It includes main pump tubing and patient extension tubing, designed for single-use under sterile conditions.Warnings and precautions: ensure proper installation of tubing into the roller pump to avoid pinching, misalignment, or damage.Do not reuse tubing¿reuse may compromise integrity and lead to leaks.Inspect tubing for damage prior to use.Any visible wear, kinks, or cracks should result in immediate replacement.
