At the time of the reporting decision the device has not yet been returned for evaluation and the evaluation results were not available.The pump is overdue for preventative maintenance.Furthermore, there are no information about the scale.With this limited information the most probable root cause could not be determined.It could be a device-independent issue or an actual malfunction.The procedure was successfully completed using the same system.No patient harm or injury reported.In case of a potential malfunction, we cannot exclude that it could cause or contribute to serious injury if it were to reoccur.If new information is received, or if the device is returned for evaluation, the reporting decision will be re-evaluated accordingly.
