Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This report has been identified as b.Braun medical internal report number (b)(4).Two (2) photos were provided by the facility for evaluation.Visual examination of the photo had leakage observed between the luer connector adapter of the secondary set and the caresite of a different set.Although the defect was noted via the photo, a thorough investigation could not be performed.One (1) unopened sample identifying the reported lot # 61663638 was returned for evaluation.The returned sample was tested for leakage per specification with passing results.The exact root cause could not be determined at this time.However, incidents of cracked/leaking valves can be caused by several factors, including but not limited to the product being subjected to aggressive solvents drugs, excessive mechanical stresses (over-tightening or frequent set manipulation), or other various unforeseen circumstances during the clinical application.Review of the discrepancy management system (dsms) database was performed for the reported lot number and no abnormalities or non-conformances were noted during the in process or final product inspection.We will maintain this report for further references and continue to monitor other reports for similar occurrences.If any additional pertinent information becomes available, a follow up will be submitted.
