The following fields have been updated due to additional information: device available for eval?: yes.Returned to manufacturer on: 16-may-2023.Investigation summary: one sample (model #20028e, lot #22049384) was returned by the customer.It was reported by the customer that they are experiencing some issues with our.2-micron filter not priming.The set was examined for defects and abnormalities.No defects or abnormalities were observed.The sample was connected to a 10ml bd syringe, and attempted to be flushed with water.The sample was unable to be flushed.The sample appeared to be occluded at the outlet of the filter.The sample was further examined under magnification where an occlusion can be observed.The customer complaint can be verified in this sample.A quality notification was sent to the manufacturer.The manufacturer was able to confirm the failure.After investigation, the potential root cause of occlusion between the tubing (pn 605518-000) and filter (pn 10012217) was related to excess solvent by failure of the solvent dispenser.An opportunity was detected in the bushing selection to decrease the amount of solvent.Corrective and preventive actions: the failure mode was addressed and as part of the actions taken, the use of a grooved bushing will be evaluated to reduce the amount of solvent.Additionally, a quality alert was generated on (b)(6) 2023 to reinforce the escalation of failure in solvent dispenser.We will continue to monitor related complaints to take the necessary actions to address this failure mode.A device history record review for model 20028e lot number 22049384 was performed.The search showed that a total of (b)(4) units in 1 lot number was built on 29apr2022.There were no quality notifications issued for the failure mode reported by the customer during the production build of this set.This incident has been added to our database of reported incidents.Our business team regularly reviews the collected data for identification of emerging trends.
