(b)(4).Method: the subject device, ojr416 optiflow junior 2 nasal cannula was not returned to fisher & paykel healthcare (f&p) for evaluation.Our investigation is thus based on the information provided by the distributor and our knowledge of the product.Results: the distributor has reported that the tubing of an ojr416 optiflow junior 2 nasal cannula was damaged during use.There was no reported patient consequence.Conclusion: without the return of the subject device or photography for evaluation, we are unable to determine the cause of the reported event.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 illustrate in pictorial format the correct set-up and proper use of the optiflow junior 2 nasal cannula.They also state the following: - appropriate patient monitoring (e.G.Oxygen saturation) must be used at all times.Failure to monitor the patient (e.G.In the event of an interruption to gas flow) may result in serious harm or death).- 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 harm).- ensure that all connections are secure during use.Check 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.
