Additional product code: fmf.Investigation: the machine was returned to terumo bct for repair and investigation.A service technician visually inspected the device and noted that the lid open detection circuit functions properly and stops the rotor when the lid is open.No other functional issues were found.Simulated use testing was done by performing three procedural cycles and it was observed that the motor spun at the correct rpm and the decant ring activated properly.The service technician observed that there were several concentric scratches on the window which indicated a possible misload of the disposable set and/or counter weights and the motor was found to be 'noisy'.The motor, scratched window and gasket were replaced, the lid latch and magnet assembly were re-adjusted.An electrical safety test hp/lc/gb (high potential/leakage current/ground bond) and a functional check out were successfully performed.The device serial number history report indicates no further related issues have been reported for this device.One year of service history was reviewed for this device with no problems identified related to the reported condition.Root cause: the root cause of this failure was a mis-adjusted lid latch.Corrective action: an internal capa has been initiated to evaluate the reports of the lid latch issues.
