Manufacturer Narrative

The reported complaint could not be confirmed.During laboratory analysis, the product surveillance technician (pst) observed the flow meter and flow sensor to fuction as intended throughout the evaluation.Per data log analysis, the incident actually occurred on (b)(6) 2018.15:04:36 art centrifugal pump started.15:06:31 art speed set to 1392 rpm (below coast).15:08:03 level alert with a coast response art speed remains the same as expected.15:08:29 level alert clears.15:09:24 art speed set to 2350 rpm.15:09:28 level alert with a coast response art speed goes to 1500 rpm (coast).15:09:47 level alert clears.15:10:05 to 15:10:37 art speed varied and ends at 1548 rpm (1550 is considered coast).15:13:11 art speed set to 2394 rpm.15:13:13 pressure alert with message only response.15:13:22 pressure alarm occurs and clears with coast response.Art speed was being adjusted when this occurred but still went to 1500 rpm as expected.15:13:50 art speed increased to 2070 rpm.15:14:04 air detected alarm with coast response art speed goes to 1500 rpm.15:14:16 art speed increased to 1806 rpm.15:14:23 air detected alarm cleared.15:15:19 art speed increased to 2200 rpm.There is no indication of a problem in the log.The centrifugal pump was running at 1500 revolutions per minute (rpm) until the speed was increased after each coast trigger.Since the setpoint was at 1500 rpm, an unexpected speed increase would have been reported as an overspeed but that did not occur.If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
