Manufacturer Narrative

The subject product evaluation found the unit would not irrigate and the led's would not illuminate as was reported.The evaluation identified areas of physical damage on the outer casing and the void seal was broken, indicating the controller may have been opened.Heat damage was identified inside the unit at the control board (logic chip) and the membrane ribbon was found melted.The unit was sold to the user in (b)(6)2016.Based on evaluation we have concluded that the physical damage and the heat damage identified with the internal components was most likely due to the device being subjected to physical trauma.
