(b)(4). Method: the complaint device was not returned to fisher & paykel healthcare (f&p) for evaluation. Our investigation is thus based on the photography and information provided by the customer and our knowledge of the product. Results: visual inspection of the photography provided by the customer revealed that both sides of the tubing were stretched near the swivel grip. It was further reported that the patient had "rotated the device". Conclusion: the stretched tubing is most likely caused by the patient accidentally pulling at the tubing. All optiflow junior cannulas are 100% leak and occlusion tested after final assembly and any cannula that fails is discarded. In addition, a tube tensile strength test is carried out and if the tube breaks before the load of 10 newtons is reached the entire batch is scrapped. Samples are also taken from each run and pull tested to check glue joint strength at the cannula/tube joint, as well as the swivel grip joint. The user instructions illustrate in pictorial format the correct set-up and proper use of the optiflow junior 2 cannula. They also state the following: appropriate patient monitoring (e. G. Oxygen saturation) must be used at all times. Failure to monitor the patient (e. G. In the event of an interruption to gas flow) may result in serious harm or death. Do not wrap, insulate, stretch or crush the tubing as this may impair the performance of this product or compromise safety (including potentially causing patient harm).
