Additional information added; section; b.5.(patient information clarified/detailed).The customer¿s report of that the connection by the check value cracked and leaked was confirmed.The set was visually inspected for kinks, incomplete bonding engagements, holes/tears in the tubing or damages to the components.Visual inspection of the set noted a crack in the female luer wall on the opposite end of the injection gate of the set.The location of the luer gate on the female luer (below the ¿wings¿) indicates that this female luer was manufactured that moved the injection gate to a lower location to help mitigate and prevent female luer cracks.No tool marks or signs of over torque were observed.No damages were observed on the male luer.Functional testing confirmed leaking from the cracked female luer.The source of the leak is due to a crack in the female luer component.The root cause of the crack is a result of internal stresses created in the luer during the manufacturing process that make it more susceptible to chemical/mechanical attacks.
