Updated fields: d4, d9, g3, g6, h2, h3, h4, h6, h11.The certas valve (id 828825l) was returned for evaluation.Device history record (dhr) - the product code 82-8825pl with lot 7565484 conformed to specifications when released to stock.Failure analysis - the position of the cam when valve was received was at setting 8.The valve was visually inspected; biological debris were observed inside the valve, and the siphon guard was broken.The valve passed the test for programming and pressure.The valve failed for occlusion and leak due to a leaked from the siphon guard.The siphon guard was removed and was observed under microscope: cut marks noted on the sg.Root cause analysis -the roots cause for the leakage issue is due to human misuse, as noted in ifu: silicone has a low cut and tear resistance.Do not use sharp instruments when handling the silicone valve or catheter.Cuts or abrasions from sharp instruments may rupture or tear the silicone components.Do not fold or bend the valve during insertion.Incorrect insertion may cause rupture of the silicone housing.The possible root cause for the reported issue could be due to biologicals debris.As noted in ifu: accumulation of biological matter within the valve can cause difficulties adjusting the valve setting with the tool kit and impair the anti-reflux function.
