Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Additional information added; b.7,& d.10.Correction; h.6.(patient code) the customer¿s report that the pcea tubing was leaking was confirmed.The set was visually inspected for obvious damage such as incomplete bonding engagements, cracks, fractures, kinks, holes, and tears in the tubing and its components.Functional testing was performed and small droplets were observed at the engagement between the tubing and the inlet port of the male luer ¿patient hub¿.The set was then pressure tested and the set leaked at the noted leak location.No other leaks were observed.Further inspection under magnification revealed some solvent channels at the exterior tubing and interior male luer surfaces that seemed more evident along the area of the yellow stripe of the microbore tubing although there are multiple contributing factors, the predominant root cause is improper solvent application due to inadequate maintenance of the solvent dispenser and an improper holding time.This creates an inadequate interaction at the affected engagement that can lead to leaks after sterilization.
