    (B)(4). EVALUATION SUMMARY: BAXTER RECEIVED ONE SAMPLE FOR EVALUATION. THE REPORTED CONDITION OF A LEAK WAS NOT CONFIRMED. VISUAL EXAMINATION OF THE SAMPLE SHOWED NO SIGNS OF PHYSICAL ABNORMALITY. A FUNCTIONAL LEAK TEST WAS PERFORMED ON THE PCM. AT THE NORMAL OPERATION SPECIFICATION OF 25 PSI, NO SIGNS OF LEAKAGE WERE OBSERVED ON ANY PART OF THE DEVICE. WHEN THE PRESSURE WAS INCREASED OUT OF OPERATIONAL SPECIFICATION RANGE TO 29 PSI, LEAK WAS NOTED INSIDE THE HOUSING. THEREFORE, THE REPORTED CONDITION OF A LEAK WAS NOT CONFIRMED UNDER NORMAL OPERATIONAL SPECIFICATION OF 25 PSI. NO ROOT CAUSE WAS IDENTIFIED, AS NO EVIDENCE OF PRODUCT MALFUNCTION WAS OBSERVED. NO REPAIR WAS DONE, AS THIS IS A SINGLE-USE DEVICE WHICH WILL BE DISCARDED. NO OTHER OBSERVATIONS WERE NOTED ON THE UNIT. PER REVIEW OF THE BATCH RECORDS, NO NONCONFORMANCE REPORT WAS DOCUMENTED FOR THIS LOT. ALL RELEASE CRITERIA WERE MET FOR THE BUILD OF THE LOT. BAXTER WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR SIMILAR REPORTS TO DETERMINE IF FURTHER ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED.
