    Narratives

    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 50 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 AND MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION OF THE DISASSEMBLED UNIT REVEALED THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE LEAK TO BE A 2.3-MM PARTICLE OF ACRYLIC 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.
