With regards to this complaint, one 2.5 mm extended retinal cryo probe was received for investigation.Visual inspection of the connector of the probe revealed no anomalies.After visual inspection, the cryo probe was submerged in water and tested for leakage at 1030 psi.No signs of leakage were observed.After the leak test, the probe was connected to a cryostar and tested in accordance with the device master record.Again, no signs of leakage were detected and the probe appeared to be functioning properly.Based on the investigation performed, the alleged leakage from the connector could not be attributed to the returned cryo probe.
