(b)(4).One (1) used set without packaging, two (2) unopened blisters, and one (1) used 6ml luer slip terumo syringe without packaging was returned for evaluation.Visual examination of the sets noted the green luer adapter to be cracked on the used set.No other visual defects were noted.The sets were pressure tested per specification.The 2 unused sets passed the test, and the used set failed the test with leakage noted at the crack on green luer adapter.The terumo syringe was checked per iso standard, and found to meet the iso standard.In order to replicate the reported event, the terumo syringe was filled to 5ml with water.Then the syringe was inserted and injected into each green luer adapter of both unused sets 3 times.No issues were noted.The used set confirmed the reported defect of cracked/leaking set.Review of the discrepancy management system database performed for the reported lot number did not reveal any abnormalities or non-conformances of this nature.Five (5) retain samples were visually examined per specification with passing results.In addition, the retain samples were occlusion and leakage tested per specification with passing results.The retains met specifications.Based on the results of the sample evaluation, no specific conclusions can be made regarding the cause of the reported event.We will maintain this report for further references and continue to monitor other reports for similar occurrences.
