Manufacturer Narrative

Block h6: device problem code 2588 captures the reportable backflow occurred while using the water jet connector.Block h10: one hydra water jet connector was received for analysis.A visual evaluation of the device found that the inner valve, in the connector, had shifted away from the intended location.No other issues were noted.Based on the condition of the returned device, the device would allow reflux of fluid into tubing.It is possible that the device was subjected to a higher than average pressure condition, during procedure, resulting in the valve shifting above the posts within the welded enclosure.Therefore, the most probable cause for this event is cause traced to component failure.This indicates that the issue is traced to an expected or random component failure without any design or manufacturing issue.A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed and confirmed that this device met all material, assembly and performance specifications at the time of release for distribution.
