    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    (B)(4). EVALUATION SUMMARY: BAXTER RECEIVED ONE SAMPLE FOR EVALUATION. THE REPORTED CONDITION OF A LEAK WAS CONFIRMED. UPON SAMPLE RECEIPT, THE DEVICE CONTAINED APPROXIMATELY 40 ML OF FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. TO VERIFY THE REPORTED CONDITION, THE FILL-PORT CAP WAS REMOVED. UPON REMOVAL, LEAKAGE (BACKFLOW) WAS OBSERVED COMING OUT OF THE FILL PORT. VISUAL EXAMINATION OF THE DISASSEMBLED UNIT REVEALED THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE LEAK WAS A 0.4-MM PARTICLE OF ACRYLIC RESIN BENEATH THE CHECK BAND. NO REPAIR WAS DONE, AS THIS IS A SINGLE-USE DEVICE WHICH WILL BE DISCARDED. NO OTHER OBSERVATIONS WERE NOTED ON THE UNIT. BAXTER HAS CONDUCTED A TREND REVIEW AND FOUND THAT SIMILAR REPORTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FOR THE REPORTED PROBLEM. BAXTER WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR SIMILAR REPORTS TO DETERMINE IF FURTHER ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED. A BATCH REVIEW HAS BEEN PERFORMED AND THERE WERE NO NON-CONFORMANCES RELATED TO THE REPORTED CONDITION.
