The customer¿s report that the primary tubing set separated and spilled (leaked) medication was confirmed.Visual inspection observed a separation at the engagement between the lower fitment and distal tubing.Closer inspection of the separated tubing under a lab microscope observed insufficient solvent at the end of the tubing during manufacturing.The set was visually inspected for kinks, incomplete bonding engagements, holes/tears in the tubing or damages to the components.A device history record for model 2420-0007 with lot number 20013380 was performed.The search showed that a total of (b)(4) units in 1 lot number were built on 29jan2020.There were no quality notifications issued for the failure mode reported by the customer during the production build of this set.The root cause of the separation was identified as a manufacturing issue for insufficient solvent being applied at the engagements of the tubing due to equipment and/or operator error.
