This report is being submitted as follow up number 1 to provide the returned sample evaluation results.The actual device was returned to the manufacturing facility for evaluation.Visual inspection found that the sampling line tube had been almost fractured off at the joint with the oxygenator outlet port.There was no other anomalies on the remainders of the device.Magnifying and electron microscopic inspections of the fracture cross-section of the sampling line tube on the port side confirmed there was not any embedded foreign particle or entrainment of air bubbles which would have contributed to the generation of the fracture.It was revealed that some segments were in the smooth state and other segments in the rough state with the generation of some streaks on the smooth segments.Simulation testing was conducted.The sampling line tube of a current product sample was exposed to a shock force at the joint of the tube and the oxygenator outlet port after it having been left under a low temperature of 4°c for 12 hours.The sampling line tube became fractured at the joint.Electron microscopic inspection of the fracture cross-section found that the state of the surface was very similar to that of the actual sample.There is no evidence that this event was related to a device defect or malfunction.While an exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information, it is likely the actual sample was subjected to a shock force which exceeded the strength limit of this product in the state of being cooled by having been left under a low temperature during transportation, resulting in the fracture of the tube.All available information has been placed on file in quality assurance at the manufacturing facility for appropriate tracking, trending and follow-up.
