While the initial complaint reported error code 305, investigation of the returned device revealed error code 265 (leak detected) occuring prior to treatment.Therefore, this event did not constitute an mdr-reportable malfunction.The device was replaced and the procedure was completed with another device.The root cause for the error code 265 was determined to be particulate on the dome valve sealing surface, arising from a piece of polymer that is believed to have been skived off at the press junction for the dome valve base.
