(b)(4).Teleflex received the device for investigation.The reported complaint of alarm: system error 1 is confirmed.The pressure sensor on the pcs assembly was noted to be out of range, resulting in the system error 1 alarm.The root cause of how the pressure sensor became out of range is undetermined.A potential cause is a faulty pressure transducer.The pcs assembly was replaced by the fse and the pump was returned to service.A device history record (dhr) review was conducted for the lot number/serial number with no relevant findings.The device passed all manufacturing specifications prior to release.Teleflex assessed the risk for the reported complaint.There are no new or revised risks.This will be monitored for any developing trends.No further action required at this time.
