On (b)(6) 2023, it was reported by a sales representative via (b)(4) that an abs-10062t aspiration kit did not function properly.This occurred during a case and they followed all the steps in setting up the machine, filtered the bone marrow, and hit the green start button to process the bma.The bma would draw up and get around the black rotor but then would not get into the cassette.They emptied the cassette and tried a second time.They then opened a second abs-10062t withdrew the bma from the first kit and processed it in the new one.There was no effect on the patient.
