Updated fields: d9, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6, h11.The duraseal dural sealant system (202050) was returned for evaluation: device history record (dhr) - a dhr review and trending were performed as part of the evaluation.Proper finished good testing was performed prior to release as indicated in the dhr.Failure analysis - investigation showed that the sample received back included 1 open pouch inside the poly bag, and 1 kit assembly (2 syringes and 1 y-connector).The clear syringe was observed without solution and connected to the y-connector.The clear syringe was disconnected from the y-connector, and no damage was observed in the barrel nor in the tip.The black rubber tip was removed from the gray plunger, and it was confirmed that the black rubber tip is a kokoku tip.The blue syringe was observed without solution and connected to the y-connector and with traces of blue solution near the tip.The blue syringe was disconnected from the y-connector, and it was pressed to obtain the material inside which had a jelled consistency.It was also confirmed that the black rubber tip is a kokoku tip.With the sample available, the failure mode was confirmed since there was gelled material in the blue syringe.Root cause - after sample evaluation, the failure mode is confirmed; however, the root cause is undetermined.Per the dfmea, potential causes of failure include: issues with solution mixing and coverage.The complaint will be closed as could not be reliably determined, and the risk remains acceptable per the risk analysis.Trends will be monitored for this and similar issues.At present, we consider this complaint to be closed.
