Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The following were reviewed as part of this investigation: patient severity, complaint and lot history, applicable previous investigation(s) and applicable fmea documents.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of fluid leak is inconclusive due to poor sample condition.One 20 ga x 0.75 in powerloc infusion set was returned for investigation.The proximal luer hub is attached to an extension set with a 3-way valve.The infusion set safety mechanism is fully advanced and activated over the needle.Use residue is present within the extension tubing.The white cap was attached to the y-site luer.An attempt to remove the extension set from the proximal luer required excessive force.The sample was flushed and pressurized through the proximal luer with water using a 12 ml syringe and no leaks were observed.The y-site luer cap was removed and residual material was observed to be present around the luer connector and within the white cap.An iso compliant taper gauge was used and found the proximal connector to be within specification.The y-site luer was found to be slightly larger than specification; however, since evident of use and over-tightening was present, the condition of the device prior to use is unknown.The white cap was also able to be tightened securely and did not leak during pressurization.Since the issues could not be replicated during functional testing, the complaint is inconclusive.Possible contributing factors include loose connector prior to use.The product ifu warns."warnings:¿ fully tighten all connections, y-site end caps, or needleless connectors before use.Failure to attach an end cap or appropriate needleless device after removing a male luer locking end cap or needleless connector can result in an embolism or bleeding.".
