The account reported finding fluid not pushing through tubing, and the customer advised the product was unusable due to the inner male connector being too short.A sample was received for investigation; medline connected the female luer of the sample to the male luer of an iv administration set, and when the sample was tested, fluid pushed through.Based on the complaint details and investigation, medline confirmed the issue.Amsino's investigation determined that the defect originates during the assembly bonding process, where tubing was bonded such that it extended into the inner diameter of the male luer, resulting in interference that blocked or severely limited fluid flow through the connection; the complaint was provided to the vendor for further evaluation and supplier quality will monitor this issue for trending purposes.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.
