Manufacturer Narrative

The reported complaint was confirmed.During laboratory analysis, the product surveillance technician (pst) found the hinge pin to be loose (falls out easily) and the door hinge spring was missing.The door-latch mechanism is fully functional and allows proper attachment to the 3/8¿ tubing as designed.The sensor could be properly attached to tubing and was functional.The pst manipulated the returned flow sensor cabling at both ends and throughout the cable length.The flow reading remained constant throughout.He tested the upper (positive) range of the returned sensor and the flow rate displayed properly throughout the positive range 0 to 9.9 liters per minute (l/min).If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
