Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The customer¿s report that a balloon developed in the silicone segment was confirmed.The set was visually inspected for kinks, incomplete bonding engagements, holes/tears in the tubing or damages to the components.During inspection it was observed that the silicone segment tubing had a bulge (1.4650 inches long,.7600 inches wide), located 1.6855 inches below the ring retainer of the upper fitment (p/n tc10008721).Clear liquid was observed inside both of the set¿s tubing and the drip chamber.No other anomalies were observed on the set during visual inspection.Functional was performed by placing the infusion set in an alaris pump module and closing the door, programming/running the infusion, pausing the infusion, and then injecting an iv push fluid bolus through a distal y-site of the infusion set.Testing included injecting an iv push bolus after clamping the tubing (below the pump segment but above the iv push site per the dfu) and injecting the iv push bolus without clamping the tubing.Ballooning was not replicated in any clamped testing but has been replicated in unclamped testing when the tubing had been visually observed to be compromised (from previous ballooning).Three samples of the silicone segment were analyzed and the walls were found to be concentric.The root cause for the source of the excessive pressure is unknown.
