The affected product had a patient valve which is used on many resus products.Thirteen valves were removed from inventory and tested one at a time with a k-resin mask.The valve was held in one hand and the mask was held in the other.Every reasonable attempt was made to break the patient valve off.None of the valves broke.The customer returned one affected device in a biohazard bag.The patient port and the mask were missing.The patient valve did not exhibit any damage even though the patient port was missing.This affected device utilized a patient valve (p/n 402114 lot 161000117) and mask (p/n 205104 lot 16090064).The patient valve was received on 11/29/2016 which means it had a pet patient port and the improved c-ring design.The mask was received on 10/13/2016 which means it had a k-resin cone.To the investigator's knowledge, this is the first complaint for a patient port detaching with this combination of materials.
