Manufacturer Narrative

H.6 investigation summary: two representative samples were received by our quality team for evaluation.Both samples were subjected to visual inspection, valve injection test and catheter adapter leak test.Both samples passed the inspection criteria and no leakage was observed; therefore, the incident could not be verified.A device history record review found no non-conformance's associated with this issue during production of this batch.Based on the investigation of the samples provided an actual root cause could not be determined.However, based on the verbatim description, the probable root cause of the leakage could be due to valve moved within the cannula hub.Capa#1379444 has been initiated to address the issue.
