Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being submitted as follow up number 1 to provide the returned sample investigation results.The actual sample was returned to the manufacturing facility for evaluation.Visual inspection found the blue cap, which should have been attached to the blood inlet port, had come off.Closer visual inspection of the device found that the blood inlet port had a black ring mark around it where the blood inlet port had been dented.The blue cap which was found in the individual pack was inspected under magnification.Generation of some scratches were noted both on the external and internal surfaces.The actual sample was set in its original cushion materials in the original manner where the blood inlet port was sandwiched with them and the locational relationship between the blood inlet port and the cushion materials was checked.It was found that the blood inlet port did not come into contact with any cushion materials when the device was packed in the box.Simulation testing was conducted.The blue capped blood inlet port of a current product sample was subjected to a pushing force by pushing the capped port against a desk with the cap facing to the flat plate of the desk.A dent was generated on the blood inlet port in the inward direction with the generation of some scratches both on the external and internal surfaces of the blue cap.There is no evidence that this event was related to a device defect or malfunction.While the exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information, it is likely the actual sample was unpacked from its package, the blood inlet port with the blue cap attached was exposed to an external force and deformed into the dented shape resulting in the reported event.The device labeling does address the potential for such an event in the instruction for use (ifu) with the statement such as the following: "inspect the device and package carefully.Do not use if the package and/or device is damaged." all available information has been placed on file in quality assurance at the manufacturing facility for appropriate tracking, trending and follow-up.
