Manufacturer Narrative

The customer¿s report that there was a hole and leak in the tubing was confirmed.The sets were visually inspected for kinks, incomplete bonding engagements, holes/tears in the tubing or damages to the components.Visual inspection of the set noted the silicone segment was completely separated from the upper fitment.An o-ring indentation was not observed on the separated end of the silicone segment.The ring retainer was not received with the set.No damages (holes) were observed.Functional testing was deemed unnecessary due to the separation and obvious leaking that would occur.Dimensional testing performed found the upper fitment tubing measured to be within the specification(s).The bottom tapered outside diameter of the nipple area measured to be within specification(s).The inside diameter of the silicone segment measured to be within the required specification(s).The root cause of the silicone segment separation was identified as a manufacturing issue for the set¿s ring retainer not assembled onto the set during the assembly process due to cleaning procedures of the equipment and operator error.
