    (B)(4). THE RT319 ADULT BREATHING CIRCUIT IS NOT SOLD IN THE USA BUT IT IS SIMILAR TO A PRODUCT WHICH IS SOLD IN THE USA. THE 510(K) FOR THAT PRODUCT IS K983112. METHOD: THE COMPLAINT RT319 ADULT BREATHING CIRCUIT WAS RETURNED TO FISHER & PAYKEL HEALTHCARE WHERE IT WAS VISUALLY INSPECTED. RESULTS: VISUAL INSPECTION REVEALED A CUT OVER 53 CM ON THE INSPIRATORY LIMB. A LOT CHECK REVEALED NO OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE FOR LOT 140709. CONCLUSION: BASED ON THE DAMAGED OBSERVED ON THE RETURNED RT319 ADULT BREATHING CIRCUIT IT IS LIKELY THE CIRCUIT WAS CUT WITH A SHARP OBJECT. ALL BREATHING CIRCUITS ARE PRESSURE TESTED FOR LEAKS PRIOR TO BEING RELEASED FOR DISTRIBUTION. ANY CIRCUITS THAT FAIL ARE REJECTED. THIS SUGGESTS THAT THE RETURNED RT319 ADULT BREATHING CIRCUIT WAS DAMAGED AFTER IT WAS RELEASED FOR DISTRIBUTION. THE USER INSTRUCTIONS ACCOMPANIED BY THE RT319 ADULT BREATHING CIRCUIT STATE: -"BEFORE CONNECTING TO PATIENT, ENSURE THAT FLOW AND PRESSURE TESTING APPLICABLE TO THE VENTILATOR HAS BEEN COMPLETED." -"SET APPROPRIATE VENTILATOR ALARMS."
