    (B)(4). THE 950A81 ADULT VENTILATOR DUAL HEATED CIRCUIT KIT IS NOT SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA) BUT IT IS SIMILAR TO A PRODUCT WHICH IS SOLD IN THE USA. THE 510(K) FOR THAT PRODUCT IS K122432. METHOD: ONE OF THE TWO COMPLAINT 950A81 ADULT VENTILATOR DUAL HEATED CIRCUIT KITS WAS RETURNED TO FISHER & PAYKEL HEALTHCARE (F&P) IN NEW ZEALAND FOR INVESTIGATION, WHERE IT WAS VISUALLY INSPECTED AND PRESSURE TESTED. RESULTS: VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE COMPLAINT DEVICE REVEALED NO SIGNS OF DAMAGE. THE PRESSURE TEST ALSO REVEALED THAT THE BREATHING CIRCUIT WAS WITHIN SPECIFICATION. CONCLUSION: WE WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE 950A81 BREATHING CIRCUITS TO FAIL THE LEAK TEST, AS REPORTED BY THE CUSTOMER, AS NO FAULT WAS FOUND WITH THE RETURNED DEVICE. ALL 950A81 ADULT VENTILATOR DUAL HEATED BREATHING CIRCUITS ARE 100% LEAK TESTED DURING PRODUCTION, AND THOSE THAT FAIL ARE REJECTED. THE SUBJECT 950A81 BREATHING CIRCUIT WOULD HAVE MET THE REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS AT THE TIME OF PRODUCTION. THE USER INSTRUCTIONS WHICH ACCOMPANY THE 950A81 ADULT VENTILATOR DUAL HEATED CIRCUIT KIT ILLUSTRATE STATE THE FOLLOWING: "PERFORM A PRESSURE AND LEAK TEST ON THE BREATHING SYSTEM BEFORE CONNECTING TO A PATIENT." "CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS ARE TIGHT BEFORE USE." THE USER INSTRUCTIONS ALSO WARN THE USER: "SET APPROPRIATE VENTILATOR OR FLOW SOURCE ALARMS TO MONITOR THERAPY DELIVERY."
