E1: (b)(6).As reported, water leakage and air bubbles occurred immediately when a 100cm 1200psi angiographic catheter extension was connected to the device and operated, making the product unusable.The product was also difficult to disconnect from the device.There was no reported patient injury.The device was not torqued against resistance while connecting to the tubing, and no difficulty was encountered while attempting to connect to a concomitant device.The device is not being returned because the hospital discarded the product.The angiographic catheter extensions associated with complaints (b)(4) were not returned for product analysis.The four devices were manufactured from lot 18582462.A product history review (phr) of lot 18582462 was completed, and the review does not suggest that the failure experienced by the customer was related to the manufacturing process.The reported ¿catheter extension tubing - leakage¿ could not be substantiated because the devices were not returned for product analysis.The exact cause of the leakage and difficulty disconnecting from the device cannot be determined.No evidence of use inconsistent with the product labeling or of a labeling-related contribution to the reported event was identified.Based on the available complaint information and manufacturing-history review, the reported leakage could not be substantiated, the exact cause of the leakage and difficulty disconnecting from the device remains undetermined, and the phr does not suggest that the failure experienced by the customer was related to the manufacturing process.Therefore, no further action will be taken at this time.
