Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The customer¿s report that the tubing broke and leaked was confirmed.Visual inspection found a lateral crack in the female luer wall of model 10015817 located at the top end of the female luer opposite of the luer gate.Slight cosmetic damages were observed at the center of the female luer.Functional testing was performed by attaching a 10ml lab syringe filled with blue dye water to female luer with the observed crack.The syringe plunger was gently depressed and small droplets were leaking at the connection between the syringe and female luer, confirming the customer¿s report of leakage.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.
