(b)(4). Device evaluation: the report of a leak in the connector assembly could not be directly confirmed. Returned on this complaint was a blue luer hub. The extension line was cut off at the entrance to the hub. The remainder of the connector assembly was not returned. The luer hub was examined microscopically. There was one crack in the hub. Functional testing was performed on the hub by attaching it to the lab leak tester. The other end of the hub was occluded. The leak tester was turned on and the pressure was increased to 45 psi (300 kpa) for 30 secs. No leak was observed in the hub. The luer hub was then tested with water and a 10 ml luer slip syringe with the other end of the hub occluded. No leak was observed in the hub. The ifu provided with the set warns that repeated over tightening of bloodlines, syringes, and caps will reduce connector life and could lead to potential connector failure. It also states to avoid excessive or prolonged use of alcohol based solutions and ointments to clean the catheter and that solution should be completely dry before applying an occlusive dressing. It also states not to use acetone with this catheter and that the catheter, extension lines and connectors should be examined before and after each use. A device history record review other remarks: was performed and did not reveal any manufacturing related issues. Based on the condition of the sample and the report that the leak occurred while it was in use, operational context caused or contributed to this complaint. No further action will be taken.
