On (b)(6) 2023, it was reported by a sales representative via sems (b)(4) that an abs-10062t prp system with aspiration kit wouldn't pull the bone marrow into the separation chamber, but the angel was counting like it was.This occurred during a case where you could hear a slight seeping at the rotor wheel.They tried the same tube in a different angle centrifuge, and it still would not pull the bone marrow.They then transferred the bone marrow into a separate kit, and everything worked fine.There was no effect on the patient.
