The details provided indicate that the stopcock was cracked on the patient line and was noticed prior to use.Upon inspecting the returned ocean drain the crack in the stopcock was confirmed.There were no other signs of damage to the drain.The body of the drain and the tube set pouch appeared to be in good condition.The crack on the stopcock was only on one side of the stopcock.The length of the crack was approximately 1.5cm in length.There were no other obvious signs of damage.The crack in the stopcock would be an obvious defect for the person handling the subassembly during manufacturing.A review of the device history records was conducted.There were no abnormalities during the build of the product and there were no non conformances during the manufacture of the product.A review of the bill of materials indicates that there were two separate lots of suction line stopcocks used in this build of ocean chest drains.A review of the incoming inspections for both lot numbers was conducted.Both lots were reviewed and there were no non-conformances noted during this inspection.To ensure the returned ocean drain with the cracked stopcock performed properly the drain was prepped per the instructions for use and a vacuum applied of approximately -109 cmh20 with the cracked stopcock in the closed position.No bubbling was seen in the suction control chamber as expected.As the stopcock was slowly opened a gentle bubbling began and increased as the stopcock valve position was increased.This is considered proper operation.Summary/conclusion: the stopcock was able to be adjusted until gentile bubbling in the suction chamber occurred.The stopcock could be opened further to create aggressive bubbling, demonstrating that there was no leak through the crack, or that any leak was not significant enough to affect the use of the chest drain that concluded that the crack in the stopcock was not significant enough to effect the use of the chest drain.
