One sample was returned for investigation.The set was examined for defects and abnormalities.A hole was seen at the bottom of the silicone segment.No other defects or abnormalities were observed.The customer complaint was verified.Based on the description of the leak not being discovered until after the set was inserted into the pump, the root cause of the failure is likely that the infusion set was improperly loaded causing damage to the silicone tubing of the pumping segment.Similar failures of this type have been seen when the infusion set is improperly inserted into the alaris pump.When incorrectly loading the infusion set and closing the door of the alaris pump, tears and holes in the silicone pumping segment can easily been created.
