Manufacturer Narrative
|
Investigation: the spectra optia set (containing ac and saline) was received for investigation.Visual inspection of the set confirmed that the tube from the broad (loop) end of the chamber was torn at the bond socket exit.Tubing was present in the bond socket indicating that the failure was not related to in adequate bonding.Some scratches/damage were also noted on the chamber body.A photograph was also sent, and it showed the same as above.Root cause: based on the part evaluation findings and the early stage at which the failure occurred, it is concluded that the leak occurred because the chamber was not loaded correctly into the bracket in the centrifuge.
