    H6: INVESTIGATION SUMMARY NO SAMPLES WERE RECEIVED FOR INVESTIGATION OF IN WHICH THE CUSTOMER HAS REPORTED EXPERIENCING WHITE LINES ON THE DRIP CHAMBER OF 70593 PRODUCTS FROM LOT 1023284, AFTER THE CHAMBER IS SQUEEZED FOR PRIMING. THE DETAILS OF THIS FEEDBACK WERE FORWARDED TO THE MANUFACTURING SITE FOR INVESTIGATION. A REVIEW OF THE PRODUCTION RECORDS FOR LOT 1023284 DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY IN-PROCESS TESTING FAILURES OR QUALITY DEVIATIONS WHICH MAY HAVE RESULTED IN A REPORT OF THIS NATURE. STRESS-WHITENING SUCH AS THAT OBSERVED BY THE CUSTOMER, IS A COMMON FEATURE IN MOST PLASTICS. WHEN THE DRIP CHAMBER IS SQUEEZED, THE POLYMERS IN THE PLASTIC COMPRESS. THIS COMPRESSION CHANGES THE WAY IN WHICH LIGHT IS REFLECTED FROM THE PLASTIC, RESULTING IN THE APPEARANCE OF WHITE STRESS MARKS. THIS IS CONSIDERED A COSMETIC DEFECT ONLY, WHICH IS NOT CRITICAL TO THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE PRODUCT.
