Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned for evaluation.The tube set was visually examined.There was a hole in the connection area/silicone-pumping segment.The hole was found in the silicone tubing and is aligned with end of the bottom connector.The actual damage is consistent with the abrasion that can occur when loading the tube set at either the upper or bottom slots of the irrigation unit.During loading of the tube sets, abrading the silicone tubing at the tube/connector transition point is possible if the tube set is loaded into the irrigation unit improperly.The hole is consistent with the use of a ji2000, which is not recommended for use with this tubing set.A review of the dhr did not show any anomalies during the manufacturing process.Trends will be monitored for this and similar complaints.At present, we consider this complaint to be closed.
