Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Evaluation of pad sets observed a leak and o-ring of the hose was found to be missing.Hence causing desired pressure to not be maintained.The manufacturing date of the pad set was discovered to be 08/04/2022 which indicated that it may have been on service for ~3 years along with the tubing set.During this time the o-ring on the hose/tubing set is suspected to have cracked and/or go missing.The root cause of this incident is thus deemed to be use error as the user failed to inspect/check the components and accessories for damage/excessive wear or non-functioning parts as recommended in the owner's manual before use thus causing/contributing to the reported malfunction.
