This report has been identified as b.Braun medical internal report number (b)(4).No sample number was provided for evaluation.Although the defect could not be confirmed, corrective actions were performed to revise specifications which limit unit-to-unit variation in tubing outer diameters and increased the length of the tubing that contacts the air sensor.The reduced variation in tubing outer diameter and length revision improves the coupling between the administration set and the air-in-line sensor reducing the potential for false air-in-line alarms.B.Braun medical inc.Has initiated a voluntary medical device correction 2523676-9/26/23-004-c for multiple batches of infusomat® pump sets manufactured between 01.Jan.2022 and 17.Aug.2023.We will maintain this report for further references and continue to monitor other reports for similar occurrences.If any additional pertinent information becomes available, a follow up will be submitted.
