A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD IS NOT POSSIBLE AS NO LOT NUMBER WAS PROVIDED; THEREFORE, THE UDI-PI IS UNAVAILABLE. THE RETURNED SAMPLE EXHIBITED TUBING DAMAGE AND DISCOLORATION. A RUPTURE WAS IDENTIFIED APPROXIMATELY AT THE 42 CM MARKING WHERE THE TUBING EXPANDED AND SPLIT, FORMING AN OPENING. INSPECTION NOTED RESIDUE AND DISCOLORATION ALONG THE TUBING, WITH NO EVIDENCE OF EMBEDDED MANUFACTURING DEFECTS. ROOT CAUSE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE REPORTED FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED DURING SAMPLE EVALUATION; HOWEVER, NO MANUFACTURING NONCONFORMANCES OR PROCESS DEVIATIONS WERE IDENTIFIED. THE OBSERVED TUBING EXPANSION AND RUPTURE ARE CONSISTENT WITH USE-RELATED FACTORS. THEREFORE, A DEFINITIVE ROOT CAUSE COULD NOT BE ESTABLISHED.
