Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The customer¿s report of a leak was confirmed.Visual inspection of the set noted a crack in the female luer wall on the opposite end of the injection gate of the suspect filter extension set.The location of the luer gate on the female luer (below the ¿wings¿) indicates that this female luer was manufactured after the change order that moved the injection gate to a lower location to help mitigate and prevent female luer cracks.No tool marks or signs of over torque were observed.Functional testing confirmed leaking from the cracked female luer.The source of the leak is due to a crack in the female luer component.The root cause of the crack is a result of internal stresses created in the luer during the manufacturing process that make it more susceptible to chemical/mechanical attacks.
