Manufacturer Narrative

The customer's report that the tubing set ballooned at the silicone segment was confirmed.Visual inspection of the area of the silicone segment, directly underneath the upper fitment, observed it to be bulged/ballooned.No other anomalies or evidence of damage were observed upon initial visual inspection.No functional testing was performed due to visual observation.The silicone tubing segment was cut and inspected under magnification; the walls were found to be concentric.Previously investigated complaints for this failure mode determined that the ballooning is caused by excess pressure within the silicone segment.The root cause for the source of the excessive pressure is unknown.
