This follow-up report is submitted to fda in accord with applicable regulations.(b)(4).The returned sample was visually inspected.It was noted to contain dried blood.The returned sample was then leak tested (as received) by connecting with the calibrated manometer, submerged into a water bath, and pressurized up to 1030 mmhg.A leak was noted from the large bore adaptor at approximately 14 mmhg.The large blue cap was then loosened and retightened by hand.The unit was then pressurized with air, submerged in a water bath, and observed for any leaks.A leak was noted again from the large blue luer cap at approximately 40 mmhg.After loosening and re-tightening the blue large bore adapter a second time (removing/loosening dried blood residue) it was then leak tested again by connecting with the calibrated manometer, submerged into a water bath, and observed for any leaks.A leak was noted from the large blue luer cap at approximately at 935 mmhg.Retention sample was unable to be obtained and tested because the affected lot number for this complaint is unknown.The complaint was confirmed and the root cause for this event is a lack of sealing between the large bore adapter (blue cap) and the shunt sensor body.When the large blue vent cap is tightened, interference between the threads of the cap and the shunt sensor body exist, causing an inadequate seal leading to a leak.All available information has been placed on file in quality management for appropriate tracking, trending, and follow-up.
