This follow-up report is submitted to fda in accord with applicable regulations ¿ and as indicated by terumo cardiovascular systems in the initial report submitted to the fda on april 19, 2018.(b)(4).The returned sample was visually inspected.It was discovered that the red stopcock handle on the returned sample had popped out of its snap-fit connection within the manifold.The returned sample was also manually flowed through as received and flow was blocked at the red stopcock location.After seating the stopcock handle appropriately, a manual flow test was attempted and completed successfully.A retention sample from the same product code and lot number was inspected and confirmed to not have mis-seated stopcock handles.All sampling manifolds are leak tested during manufacturing and visually inspected; therefore, it is likely that the unit was exposed to a shock force after manufacturing that caused the stopcock snap-fit to disengage.It was not able to be determined how or when the damage occurred.All available information has been placed on file in quality management for appropriate tracking, trending, and follow-up.
