yes no o hazard id #: 3.1.12 o hazard: potential leakage o cause: potential lack of workmanship during assembly.O harmful effects: potential biohazard exposure o residual probability: 1 o residual severity: 4 o residual risk index: 4 ¿ potential causes: based on the investigation results, the potential cause was determined to be a missing tray and sponge in the compressor.¿ investigation result / analysis: the investigation was performed and based on the review of the complaint trend, defect trend, dhr, risk analysis, and servicemax, the potential cause was determined to be a missing tray and sponge in the compressor.In response to the customer reporting the wet cart of the instrument shooting out a spray of fluid, an fse (field service engineer) went onsite and confirmed the issue by disassembling and checking the wet cart.The fse found that the tray and sponge in the compressor that absorb moisture were missing.This caused condensation in the compressor, which sprayed when the compressor depressurized.The fse dried out the air dryer, ordered a replacement tray and sponge, and placed a container with absorbents in the compressor as a temporary solution.Once the replacement parts were received, they were installed in the wet cart and the work order was closed (part # 339119 - wet cart box clear plst 4in x 4in x 2in, 641446 - wet cartfoam box).After the repairs, the instrument was found to be functioning as expected without further leaks or sprays and was returned to service.Although the user did come into contact with the spray of fluid on their feet, the fluid was non-biohazardous and the user was wearing ppe (personal protective equipment).The customer confirmed that no users were harmed or injured due to this leak.Also, this leak did not impact any patient samples.Bd facscanto¿ flow cytometer instructions for use (ifu), #23-14730-03 rev.01/vers.A, indicates to wear suitable protective clothing and gloves to prevent transmission of potentially fatal disease from biological specimens.This can be found on page 147 in cleaning the surfaces.The safety risk of this hazard has been identified to be within the acceptable level.¿ conclusion: based on the investigation results, the complaint was confirmed and the potential cause of the wet cart shooting out a spray of fluid was determined to be a missing tray and sponge in the compressor.The fse disassembled the wet cart and found the compressor was missing the tray and sponge, resulting in a build-up of condensation that sprayed out when the compressor depressurized.The fse dried out the air dryer, placed a container with absorbents in the compressor temporarily, and then installed the ordered replacement parts once they arrived (part # 339119, 641446).After the repairs, the instrument was found to be functioning as expected without further leaks or sprays and was returned to service.No users or patients were harmed or injured due to the leak.The safety risk of this hazard has been identified to be within the acceptable level.Based on the investigation results, a capa is not required because the issue was resolved and there was no impact to customer and patient health or safety.¿ supporting document: n/a h3 other text : see h.10.
