Event Description
A user facility biomedical technician (biomed) reported finding thermal damage on two cables inside an aquabplus 2000.The biomed received an early morning call from the hemodialysis (hd) clinic when they were opening, reporting that the system was failing the t1 test.The biomed said there was an error on stage 2 (f-04-51-04) indicating the stage 2 distribution pump failed.When the biomed arrived onsite, they powered the system on in emergency mode 1.The machine was operable throughout the day using only the first stage.There was no patient impact or involvement associated with the event.At the end of the day, the biomed contacted technical support for troubleshooting assistance.The biomed first confirmed there were no blown fuses in the local power supply.The hood was then opened for further inspection, and the biomed discovered a burnt cable (l2) from the motor protection switch (mps) to the power contactor, in stage 2.The biomed confirmed there was no burn damage on the switch itself.The biomed ordered a spare mps to have on hand.Further inspection found that the l2 cable in stage 1 was also burnt.Since stage 1 was still working, the biomed determined that the burnt cable from stage 2 caused the failure.To resolve the reported issue, the biomed replaced the burnt cables.A photo of the burnt cable from stage 2 was provided for review.The biomed did not have any photos of the cable from stage 1.It was verified that the thermal overload switch was not tripping.After replacing the burnt cables, the machine became fully operational.The biomed stated there was no evidence of any burning smell, smoke, sparks, or flames.In addition, they confirmed there were no local power grid issues in the area around the date of the event.The biomed also confirmed the machine is plugged into a ground-fault circuit interrupter (gfci) outlet.The damaged cables were available to be returned for manufacturer evaluation and the ftp machine files were provided for review.
 
Manufacturer Narrative
Plant investigation: based on the provided picture, the reported event could be confirmed.A review for similar complaints was not required in this case as the failure pattern is a known.The issue was caused by bad electrical contact which resulted in overheating of the blade receptacle and wire connection.The design of the crimp and blade receptacle will be changed in the new design.Failing to observe a cool down time after resetting the motor protection switch could have contributed to the reported event.The cooling time must be considered after a triggered motor protection switch.The device history records (dhr) were reviewed.The device was found to be conforming to the specifications and released without any discrepancies.The reported event is known and could be clearly seen on the provided picture.No sample was required as the failure pattern is known.Review of the instructions for use (ifu) revealed that the regular visual inspection is not user related.The cooling time to be observed is described in the ifu.The service manual (sm) review revealed that regular visual inspections are adequately addressed.Based on the available information, the reported failure was able to be confirmed.
