Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The field service representative (fsr) could not duplicate the reported complaint.A review of the data log indicated that the system was behaving as expected, and no issues were found.There was an air bubble detector (abd) alarm that went off, and the safety connections caused the centrifugal motor to stop.The abd alarm was not cleared until the case ended (and the system was swapped out), thus the centrifugal was unable to start while the abd alarm was still active.The centrifugal system, flow sensor, and abd successfully passed testing.The unit operated to the manufacturer's specifications.The part number (pn), serial number (sn), and udi of the abd are: pn: 5773, sn: (b)(6), udi: (b)(4).
