Manufacturer Narrative
|
The customer¿s report of a leaking filter was confirmed.Visual inspection of the set did not reveal any discernible damage or abnormalities.Functional testing confirmed a slow leak began to appear from the filter vent.The cause of the formation of a leak has been determined to be the clogging of the filter with infusate due to the nature of the infusate and/or duration of exposure, at which time the infusate will seek the path of least resistance and begin to leak from the air vent.
