    THE SAMPLE WAS NOT RETURNED SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THE ISSUE OF SPLIT OR BURST TUBING WHEN USING POWER INJECTORS WAS EVALUATED UNDER A FORMAL INVESTIGATION. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THIS IS NOT A MANUFACTURING OR MATERIALS DEFECT. IT WAS COMMUNICATED TO THE CUSTOMER THAT STANDARD I.V. ADMINISTRATION SETS ARE INTENDED FOR GENERAL INFUSION AND NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH POWER INJECTORS. IN ADDITION, THE INFUSION THERAPY ACCOUNT MANAGERS WERE ADVISED OF THIS ISSUE AND WERE PROVIDED WITH A PRODUCT LIST OF THOSE HIGH-PRESSURE SETS THAT ARE APPROPRIATE FOR USE WITH POWER INJECTORS. THIS REPORT REPRESENTS ALL THE INFORMATION KNOWN BY THE REPORTER UPON QUERY BY HOSPIRA PERSONNEL.
