The details provided indicate that the oasis chest drain had a very large crack on the left side of the drain that was noticed prior to use.As the oasis chest drain in question was not returned an evaluation of the physical product cannot be conducted.A review of the device history records indicates that the lot of chest drains passed all quality and performance requirements prior to being released.There were no rejected drains during the manufacturing of this lot for cracked or damaged drains.All drains are leak tested 100% in process.If a large crack was present during the time of manufacturing it would not have passed the leak test requirements.Based on the results of the investigation the most probable root cause of the cracked oasis chest drain is that the product was damaged while in transit.A large crack would have been noticed during the multiple manufacturing process steps in manufacturing including the 100% product leak test.Without the physical product or images of the device in question atrium medical corporation cannot confirm that the product in question was faulty.Device not returned.
