H.6.Investigation: one sample (model #2420-0007) was returned by the customer.It was reported that the tubing was ballooning out and it exploded.The set was examined for defects and abnormalities.The sample arrived separated at the top connection of the pumping segment.A retainer ring indent was visible, though no retainer ring was returned.A definitive root cause could not be determined since an infusion could not be completed with the returned sample.The separation could have possibly been a result of the excessive force from the ballooning reported in the pumping segment.We will continue to track this issue and watch for any emerging trends.A potential lot number was identified to be lot #21106126.A device history record review for model 2420-0007 and possible lot number 21106126 was performed.There were no quality notifications issued for the failure mode reported by the customer during the production build of this set.
