    (B)(4). METHOD: THE COMPLAINT MR290 AUTOFEED HUMIDIFICATION CHAMBER WAS RETURNED TO FISHER & PAYKEL HEALTHCARE IN (B)(4) AND WAS VISUALLY INSPECTED FOR THE REPORTED DAMAGE. RESULTS: VISUAL INSPECTION REVEALED A BREAK IN THE WATER FEEDSET TUBE WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE CHAMBER DOME. THE SURFACE OF THE BREAK WAS ROUGH. A LOT CHECK REVEALED THREE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE FOR LOT NUMBER 120731. CONCLUSION: THE DAMAGE APPEARS TO BE THE RESULT OF THE TUBE BEING PULLED AWAY FROM THE DOME, POSSIBLY DUE TO THE FEEDSET BEING CAUGHT OR UNDER TENSION. ALL CHAMBERS ARE PRESSURE TESTED BEFORE THEY LEAVE THE PRODUCTION LINE AND ANY HOLES OR LEAKS IN THE FEEDSET ARE IDENTIFIED DURING THIS PROCESS. THIS SUGGESTS THAT THE DAMAGE OCCURRED POST PRODUCTION. THE USER INSTRUCTIONS THAT ACCOMPANY THE MR290 STATE THE FOLLOWING: "SET APPROPRIATE VENTILATOR ALARMS." "PERFORM A PRESSURE AND LEAK TEST ON THE BREATHING SYSTEM AND CHECK FOR OCCLUSIONS BEFORE CONNECTING TO A PATIENT." (B)(4).
