Additional Manufacturer Narrative

There has been a previous report received where lack of water flow has caused an overheating insert.Since an overheating insert could necessitate medical/surgical intervention to preclude permanent damage to a body structure or permanent impairment of a body function, this malfunction would be likely to cause/contribute to a serious injury should it recur.As such, this event meets the criteria for reportability per 21 cfr part 803.
