Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation: the disposable set was available for return and investigation.The lower bearing had a witness mark to indicate correct loading.The lower bearing was detached from the centrifuge collar line (aka lower sleeve).One of the locating ears was sheared off and the sleeve was damaged around this area.There was a small damage mark on the sleeve under the hex collar.The device history record was reviewed.All sut samples passed testing, there were no issues noted in loop sleeve assembly, and there were no systemic quality issues noted.A review of the lot for similar reports was carried out, none have been reported.Root cause: a centrifuge pressure high alarm is generated when the centrifuge channel pressure is high, as detected by the centrifuge pressure sensor (cps).The alarm can manifest as a result of a disposable defect or a misloaded disposable set.This investigation analyzed there turned part and the findings are consistent with a manufacturing error where the sleeve ears were not snapped in on the lower bearing.
