The reported issue was confirmed.The root cause of the reported issue was isolated to user related.It is known that the device did not meet specifications and whether the device was influenced by the reported failure.The device was in use on a patient.The device was not returned for evaluation.The device history record was reviewed and found nothing that could have caused or contributed to the reported event.The instructions for use were found adequate and state the following: "1) drain the reservoir.¿ turn control module power off.¿ attach the drain line to the two drain ports on the back of the control module.Place the end of the drain line into a container.The water will passively drain into the container.2) refill the reservoir.¿ connect the fill tube.¿ from the hypothermia therapy screen or the normothermia therapy screen, press the fill reservoir button.¿ the fill reservoir screen will appear.Follow the directions on the screen.¿ add one vial of arctic sun¿ temperature management system cleaning solution to the second liter of sterile water.¿ the filling process will automatically stop when the reservoir is full.Continue to replace the bottles of sterile water until the filling process stops.¿ when the fill reservoir process is complete, the screen will close.Note: the reservoir level sensor requires a conductive fluid to operate properly.Filling the reservoir without using the arctic sun cleaning solution may result in overfilling the reservoir." the device was not returned.
