The customer¿s report that "the patient's blood backed up into the tubing that had separated and leaked from the pressure sensing disc" was confirmed to be a leak from the filter weld line.The set was visually inspected for kinks, holes/tears in the tubing or damages to the components no separations or other anomalies were observed anywhere on the set during initial visual inspection.Functional priming found a leak from the filter weld line.Closer inspection of the filter under a lab microscope observed no tool marks or scratches.No further testing could be performed due to the leak.The root cause of the filter weld line leak is due to a supplier manufacturing error.
