Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is submitted to fda in accord with applicable regulations.The returned sample was visually inspected.It was confirmed that the oxygenator leaked at the connection point of the temperature probe.Oxygenators are 100% leak tested in process, which would detect any similar cracks on the ports; therefore, the crack in the part did not exist during the manufacturing process.The returned sample was then pressure tested; it was primed with water then pressurized manually with a syringe.At approximately 150 mmhg, water was seen dripping from the connection point of the thermistor (temperature probe) to the blood outlet port of the oxygenator.It is likely that an extreme force was exerted on the port/thermistor at some point during shipping and handling causing the part to crack, leading to a leak during prime.All available information has been placed on file in quality management for appropriate tracking, trending, and follow-up.
