A quality complaint was received for one unit where it was stated that the bottom plastic spreader piece is not working/damaged.Medline visually inspected the sample and can see the plastic on the bottom of the unit is cracked, and performed a retrospective query on the item number for the past six months and found no similar complaints.As a result, medline confirmed the issue.Vendor review determined the canister was hung off the suction regulator at an angle, causing excess weight on the patient port and resulting in damage; the division will monitor for trends.There were no reports of death, serious injury, medical intervention, or follow up care.It has been determined that the reported event could cause or contribute to serious injury if it were to occur again.In an abundance of caution, this is a reportable event.If additional information becomes available this report will be reopened and reevaluated.This medical device report (mdr) is being submitted as part of retrospective review activities, which include review of historical data in accordance with regulations at 21 cfr part 803.The information included in this mdr reflects the information reasonably known to the manufacturer at the time of this retrospective review and submission.
