Device evaluation: the device has been returned and evaluated by product analysis on 02-aug-2018 with the following findings: review of the black box data revealed evidence of sudden drop in voltage resulting from a low battery warning and a replace battery alarm on (b)(4) 2018.There was no evidence of moisture inside the battery compartment.On investigation, the pump powered on normally with the returned battery cap properly in place on the pump.The pump was exercised for 24 hours without any errors, alarms, warnings, overheating or interruption in power.The electrical currents were evaluated and found to be outside of specifications due to excessive moisture contamination in the pump¿s interior component.Leak testing revealed a leak through the display lens.Unrelated to the original complaint, the battery compartment was noted to be cracked during the investigation.
