One used cleo® 90 infusion set was returned for investigation.Visual inspection revealed of the returned site found that the soft cannula had separated approximately 2mm from the base; the remaining length of cannula was not returned.Upon further examination, no other defects were found with the device; the wall thickness of the cannula and the site crown appeared as intended.Investigation was unable to determine the root cause of the cannula separation; however, no evidence was found to suggest an intrinsic defect in the site.
