Manufacturer Narrative

The reported complaint was confirmed.During laboratory analysis, the product surveillance technician (pst) was unable to duplicate the reported complaint.The flow sensor functioned as intended throughout the evaluation.Per log analysis on (b)(6) 2018, the flow log does show many backflow alarms on (b)(6) 2018.There is no way to tell from the log if there was actual backflow occurring.There are other dates in the log that also show backflow alarms ((b)(6) 2018, (b)(6) 2018, and (b)(6) 2018).If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
