    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    RECEIVED THREE (3) USED PLUM SETS. THIS REFLECTS THE THIRD OF THE THREE. AS RECEIVED, ALL THREE SAMPLES CONTAINED FLUID. SAMPLE WAS OBSERVED TO HAVE HAD THE DRIP CHAMBER REMOVED AND THE CLAVE ON THE SECONDARY PORT HAD A STICK DOWN. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION, BOTH OF THE OTHER SAMPLES WERE OBSERVED TO HAVE TEARING ON THE FACE OF THE SEALS OF THE CLAVES ON THE SECONDARY PORT. IN AN ATTEMPT TO REPLICATE CLINICAL USE, THE RECEIVED SAMPLES WERE DRAINED OF THE RESIDUAL FLUID RECEIVED BY GRAVITY. THE FLUID WAS SUCCESSFULLY DRAINED FROM ALL THREE SAMPLES. WATER WAS THEN FLUSHED THROUGH SAMPLES 2 AND 3. WATER WAS SUCCESSFULLY PUSHED THROUGH SAMPLE 3 BUT COULD NOT PUSH THROUGH SAMPLE 2. CLAVES WERE DISASSEMBLED AND SPIKES AND SEALS OF ALL SAMPLES WERE OBSERVED TO BE DAMAGED, WITH FLASH OBSERVED ON THE TWO WITH INTACT TIPS. BASED ON OBSERVATIONS THROUGH DECONSTRUCTION, THE COMPLAINT OF DIFFICULTY FLUSHING CAN BE CONFIRMED DUE TO DAMAGES FOUND AT THE SECONDARY PORT. PROBABLE CAUSE IS DUE TO A MOLDING ERROR IN MANUFACTURING. A DEVICE HISTORY REPORT (DHR) LOT AND RELEVANT COMMODITIES WERE REVIEWED, THE FOLLOWING DISCREPANCY WAS IDENTIFIED: EXCEPTION TYPE: NCMR. DOCUMENT ID#: (B)(4). LOT#: 13677270. DISCREPANCY: "DURING VISUAL INSPECTION ON (B)(6)2023 ON SHIFT A1 FOR PRESS (B)(4) ITEM (B)(4) (CONNECTOR Y SPIKE, 2 WINDOW), MOLDING QA FOUND CAV E1, Z9 HAS TIP FLASH MEASURING .013-.019 (MAX .010) ON (B)(6)2023 A2 SHIFT VISUAL INSPECTOR FOUND THAT E1 AND Z9 WAS GOING INTO GOOD PARTS. SUPPOSE TO BE SCRAPPING. AFTER BRACKETING TOTES 57-138 WAS AFFECTED."

    FURTHER REVIEW OF THIS NON COMFORANCE/NCMR AND THE INVESTIGATION, IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT THE COMPONENT WITH THE TIP FLASH IN THIS NCMR IS FOR THE Y-CLAVE AND NOT THE CLAVE CONNECTED TO THE SECONDARY PORT. THEREFORE, THIS NON-CONFORMITY IS NOT RELATED TO THE FAILURE MODE EXPERIENCED BY THE CUSTOMER.
