Manufacturer Narrative

The customer¿s report that a line pressure alarmed and a crack and leakage was noted in the extension set at the distal end was confirmed.Visual inspection observed a lateral crack in the female luer wall located at the top end of the female luer opposite of the luer gate.Inspection also observed a lateral crack in the male luer¿s spin collar.Functional testing observed that the source of the leak is due to a crack in the female luer component.The root cause of the female luer crack was identified to be a result of internal stresses created during the manufacturing process that make it more susceptible to chemical/mechanical attacks and the pvc materials used in the new female luer.
