The reported complaint of leakage was confirmed on the returned set.During visual inspection, the 28" pressure tubing was received separated from the male luer.Insufficient adhesive coverage was observed on the tubing pocket.The separation of the bond was due to insufficient adhesive coverage on the pressure tubing.The probable cause of insufficient adhesive coverage on the pressure tubing had occurred due to an error during assembly at ensenada.The lot history was reviewed, no nonconformities were identified that may have contributed to the reported complaint.
