Manufacturer Narrative

The cusa excel 36khz tubing set (c3601) was returned for evaluation: failure analysis : the returned tube was tested for leakage condition by introducing water through the irrigation tube with a syringe.A leakage was observed in the irrigation tube (with blue strip).In addition, some scuff marks were observed in the area of the irrigation tube where the leak was observed.The damage observed in this section of the irrigation tube is consistent with the defect cause when the tube is incorrectly assembled into the pump latch, and it is pinched under compression.The reported condition of ¿leakage¿ was confirmed.Root cause : based on the unit evaluation, the root cause of the reported condition is related to an improper assembly of the tube into the console machine.The complaint investigation rules out any relationship of the reported condition with the product manufacturing process at integra.Trends will be monitored for this and similar issues.At present, we consider this complaint to be closed.The cusa excel user¿s guide provides the proper instructions for the tubing assembly into the console machine and has the following caution statement to avoid damages to the tube: ¿make sure that the irrigation tubing center between the v-shaped tubing retainers before you close the pump latch.Otherwise, the pump latch will pinch the tubing, preventing the flow of irrigation fluid.¿.
