Correction section addtl mfg narrative/corr.Data: unfortunately, there is an error in section addtl mfg narrative/corr.Data that makes the situation contradictory.In the final mdr, sent on 2022-11-09 (mfg report number# 8010762-2022-00109), it was written the following: "the affected rotaflow console (serial# (b)(6) was sent back to manufacturer for repair.It was received on 2022-07-05 and during investigation by the getinge service department on 2022-09-21 the reported failure "head error" could not be reproduced." it is, in fact, incorrect that the failure could not be reproduced.The cause of the reported failure in this complaint is ¿hot plug¿.As described in the mentioned section, the control board (material#70103.4051) was replaced by a getinge service technician.We included the word "not" instead of acknowledging the failure.The failure was reproduced and confirmed.Therefore, now section addtl mfg narrative/corr.Data is adapted to correct the contradictory information previously sent.
