Hakim valve (id 823162) was returned for evaluation.Failure analysis - the valve was visually inspected, a needle hole in the needle chamber was noted.The valve passed the test for programming, occlusion, leak, reflux, siphon guard and pressure.Root cause analysis - no root cause could be determined for the failure issue reported by the customer as the technician could not confirm any problems with the valve at the time of investigation.A possible root cause for the issue reported by the customer could be due to biological debris and protein build up interfering with the device.As noted in the complaint report no occlusions were found with the device at the time of investigation.
