Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
An in-depth investigation was conducted and determined that the cause of the tubing not staying clamped was attributed to the tip (point) of the clip.The tip is seated within the "teeth" of the clip to keep the clip engaged/closed.As the tip was not sharp/pointy enough, this allowed the tip to detach from the teeth resulting in the reported issue.
