Additional Manufacturer Narrative
(b)(6).Method: the subject device, opt316 optiflow junior nasal cannula 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 connector (swivel grip) 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 illustrate in pictorial format the correct set-up and proper use of the optiflow junior nasal cannula.They also state the following: - "appropriate patient monitoring must be used at all times.Failure to monitor the patient may result in loss of therapy, serious injury 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 or crush tube.".
