Manufacturer Narrative

The field service representative (fsr) removed the suspect flow module and installed a new flow module.The fsr assigned the module and completed all testing.The unit operated to manufacturer specifications and was returned to clinical use.During further laboratory evaluation, the issue was isolated to fatigued solder joints on p5 of the generic board causing insufficient electrical continuity.These solder joints became fatigued because an improper sized stand-off was used.The smaller stand-off between the generic and application board caused flexing on the generic board when it was tightened down, fatiguing the solder joints on the connector.If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
