The customer reported that the pacu rn paged to make them aware that the ¿suction port was loose and had to be taped down to hold suction¿.This was the first occurrence.The scrub tech did not notice any irregularities/defects upon filling the suction chamber prior to connecting the chest tubes.Upon removing the suction tubing from the port the next morning (assessing for air leak), the port was dislodging and attached to the suction tubing in which the doctor decided to leave the patient on water seal only instead of changing the complete system.Additional information received on 14jun2023 stated that the issue occurred while in use and caused diminished suction.
