    THE CUSTOMER'S COMPLAINT OF PARTICULATE MATTER CAN BE CONFIRMED BASED IN THE PHYSICAL SAMPLE RETURNED BY CUSTOMER. NO ASSIGNABLE CAUSE RELATED TO ICU MEDICAL PRODUCT MANUFACTURING OR DESIGN WAS IDENTIFIED. REPORTED CONDITION OF THE RETURNED DEVICE WAS REPLICATED. THE SHAPE OF THIS DRIP CHAMBER USED TO ACCESS THE ICU MEDICAL DRY SPIKE IS CONSIDERED THE MOST RELEVANT FACTOR TO CREATE THESE PARTICULATES. THE PROBABLE CAUSE WAS THAT THE DRIP CHAMBER TIP GOT BROKEN INSIDE THE DRY SPIKE ADAPTOR DUE TO UNINTENTIONAL BENDING FORCE APPLIED DURING USE. UPDATED INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND IN G1.
