This follow-up report is submitted to fda in accord with applicable regulations ¿ and as indicated by terumo cardiovascular systems in the initial report submitted to the fda on november 14, 2025.Upon further investigation of the reported event, the following information is new and/or changed: g3 (date received by manufacturer).G6 (indication that this is a follow-up report).H2 (follow-up due to additional information and device evaluation).H3 (device evaluated by manufacturer).H6 (identification of evaluation codes 10, 11, 3331, 4210, 19).The sample was returned and leak tested, as received, by connecting with a calibrated manometer, submerged into a water bath, and pressurized up to 1030 mmhg and a leak was noted immediately from the large venting luer.The large venting luer was then loosened and re-tightened by hand.The sample was then leak tested a second time by connecting with the calibrated manometer, submerged into a water bath, and pressurized up to 1030 mmhg, and no leaks were noted.A retention sample from the same lot number was visually inspected and confirmed to have no traces of buffer on the outside of the unit or inside the pouch.The retention sample was then pressurized with air up to 1030 mmhg, submerged in a water bath, and observed for any leaks.No leaks were noted on the retention sample.The root cause for this event was determined to be the large venting luer on the shunt sensor was not fully tightened either during setup of the circuit, or after the gas calibration.When the large venting luer was loosened, it had not been re-tightened fully, causing a leak from the cap.All available information has been placed on file in quality management for appropriate tracking, trending, and follow-up.
