One (1) used mc33450 7" (18 cm) appx 0.43 ml, pressure infusion (400psig) ext set w/microclave¿ clear, rotating luer lot#3920631 and one (1) used redcap with list and lot# unknown were received for evaluation on april 17, 2019.The device was returned with the red dead-end luer cap on the female luer of the mircoclave and when the cap was removed the seal was stuck down.The red dead-end luer cap is an incompatible mating device.Subsequent disassembly revealed a seal puncture and spike damage typical of access with an incompatible mating device(s).The probable cause of the microclave seal stick down and subsequent leakage is access with a dead end luer cap during use.The microclave dfu states: do not use needles, blunt cannulas or luer caps on connectors.A device history review for lot#3920631 and relevant commodities were reviewed and no non-conformances were found that would have contributed to the reported complaint.
