During the subsequent site visit, the field service engineer (fse) resolved the issue by replacing the tubing in the pinch valve above the open mode probe (part number 9130542).A review of instrument status determined that the recommended preventive maintenance has not been performed on this instrument, which includes replacement of the tubing affected.Return testing was not completed as returns were not available.A review of the cell-dyn 3700 system operator's manual found labeling to be adequate for the complaint issue.A search for similar complaints did not identify any additional complaints or trends associated with this issue.Based on the investigation there is no product deficiency identified for the cell-dyn 3700, serial number (b)(4).
