(b)(4).Per the manufacturer's clinical specialist, the flow reading was displayed on the central control monitor (ccm) and the local display when suddenly dashes were displayed appeared instead of the flow reading.While checking the connections the flow was displayed again.The flow module was placed under the splash panel and when he went to put the splash panel back on, the flow reading went back to dashes.He changed the position of the cables to the other network interface card (nic) and the flow immediately came back on.When the splash panel was put back on the flow went back to dashes.He was able to get the flow readings displayed when he left the displaced connect off.A few minutes later, without any manipulation, the flow reading was back to dashes.The flow sensor was located post arterial filter.The field service representative (fsr) verified the flow module did not show flow, only dashes.He replaced the flow module.The unit operated to the manufacturer¿s specifications.The suspect device was returned to the manufacturer for further evaluation.

(b)(4).During laboratory analysis, the product surveillance technician (pst) connected the device under test (dut) to the system 1 simulator using lab peripherals to construct a basic centrifugal water loop with flow sensor on 3/8¿ tubing.The pst powered on the test setup, opened perfusion window and assigned the dut flow module.Proper flow immediately observed on the central control monitor (ccm) and pump controller display.The pst gradually warmed the outside of the dut flow module using a heat gun while observing the internal reported temperature within the ¿module info¿ tab.Beginning at approximately 45 degrees celsius (c), the temperature was raised to 46.4c before the flow displays reflected three dashes (¿---¿) which indicates loss of flow data, which duplicated the reported complaint.The environmental operating temperature specification upper limit is 40°c (room ambient).The ccm status bar at the top of the perfusion screen also displays ¿flow: check sensor¿ when it fails.The cause of failure is the flow module application board.If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
