Event or Problem Description

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
One cadd® cadd® administration set was returned in used condition.The sample was visually inspected at a distance of 12" to 24" under normal conditions of illumination.The join between the star tube and the pump tube was detached from the housing.No marks of solvent were found in this part of the product.No obstructions were detected in any of the joins.The manufacturing and quality inspection processes were reviewed and considered adequate and correct.The failure mode could not be duplicated.The most probable root cause is that the tubing detached activated the sensors on the pump for an occlusion alarm.
